Nick,
These conversation made me to look for the Machinery Directive (I have never
read before). Having no time to read the whole I made a fast search for word
'moving' but I can't find the place the machinery is defined as anything
containing moving parts as I understand from conversation here.
Being under 'silly question' subject let me ask some questions.
Where from it comes that moving part makes equipment the machinery?
Do the minimal size or moving distance of that part is defined?
In Article 1(k) I don't see telecommunication equipment. Is it excluded as
information technology or not ?
Do the classical phone with ring has moving parts and is covered by
Machinery Directive?
Do the cell-phone signalling incoming call by vibration has moving parts and
is covered by Machinery Directive ?
Do any device which is not excluded by Article 1, but has loudspeaker is
covered by Machinery Directive?
Do the device using MEMS technology (contains micro moving parts) has moving
parts and is covered by Machinery Directive?

This is incorrect. This approach was permitted by 98/37/EC but 2006/42/EC
no longer permits this kind of analysis.

Mark,
You need to do a comprehensive risk assessment and determine if the risk
of injury to persons using or servicing the equipment is more mechanical
or more electrical. You may have a moving part that is inside the
equipment and inaccessible. How fast is that moving part? How is it
secured? Is it accessible to a service person? Can the interlock of
access doors be defeated? Lots and lots of questions that your
engineering team need to ask
before deciding which Directive must be applied.
