The Machinery Directive does not apply to machines that require human/animal effort to move as this equipment falls outside the definition of machinery in Article 2. (Machines operating from stored energy resulting from human/animal effort to fall within MD) Regards Charlie From: Jim Hulbert [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 15 September 2011 14:09 To: [email protected] Subject: [PSES] CE Requirements for Manual Wire Binding Machine Does a manual wire binding machine have CE marking requirements? This is a table top device used to punch holes in paper sheets and to bind them together with a thin wire. Entirely manual operation. Not electrical. EMC and Low Voltage directives clearly do not apply. Since it's not electrical, RoHS and WEEE don't apply. I'm thinking maybe the Machinery Safety Directive. Any thoughts?
