The commission addressed this issue in section 3.1 of their guide to the new approach directives. http://europa.eu.int/comm/enterprise/newapproach/legislation/guide/legislati on.htm
(past this long address back together if it wrapped) "A product may be put into service without prior placing on the market (such as a product manufactured for own use). In such a case the person who puts the product into service must assume the responsibilities of the manufacturer. Accordingly, he must ensure that the product complies with the directive, and that the appropriate conformity assessment has been carried out." Richard Woods Sensormatic Electronics Tyco International From: Joe P Martin [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2003 3:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Custom Units in EU Greetings, We are planning to manufacture up to 50 units for laboratory use. Each of these units will be one of a kind. These units will be shipped to the EU to our own laboratory and operated by our personnel. If I recall correctly there are exemptions for one of a kind units for EMC, LVD and Machinery Directives. However, I was unable to locate this information in the guidelines to these Directives. Can members of the group provide me with specific information regarding the requirements, if any, for one of a kind units located in the manufacturers facility and operated by employees of the manufacturer in the EU? All responses are appreciated. Regards Joe Martin Applied Biosystems [email protected] This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
