Hi to all, This is a UK - possibly EU - question.
In the UK we have the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations that requires a person who provides or controls equipment used at work to comply with the regulations. The regulations require that equipment provided for use at work must comply with legislation implementing any EC directives on CE marking, be constructed or adapted so as to be suitable for the work undertaken... etc.. such that the operator is not put at risk. So - what is the UK Industry Best Practice (IBP) for the supply and use of equipment that is designed, constructed and used "in house". The type of thing I am meaning is the special power supply, the I/O indicator, the custom test rig, that is built to support the design and development of the product. It might be a 10 minute build, or a ten week build. If some things are not worth certifying against applicable directives, how is PUWER complied with? What do the other EU / Other nations do in this respect?
