Brian, EMC will likely be the least of your problems.
Parts washers may well be in the scope of the Machinery Directive rather than the LVD. Additionally, if the manufacturer does not prohibit their use with flammable solvents then they will be ATEX equipment (and will probably require Notified Body approval). Sand blast cabinets may be none, one or several of machinery, pressure equipment or simple pressure vessels, and there could also be a PPE (personal protective equipment) angle. Feel free to contact me directly if you need more detailed help. Nick.
