In the Machinery Directive.... 1. If a manufacturer has designated an Authorized Representative, the AR name must be marked on the machine (ref Annex I, 1.7.3 1st indent).
2. A person must be identified in the Declaration of Conformity who is established in the EU and is authorized to compile the technical file (ref Annex II (1)(A)(2)) Both these criteria are absent from the new legislative framework (NLF) model, and the recent directives implementing the NLF model, namely RoHS2, LVD3 (still in works), EMCD3 (still in works). The NLF model requires the importer of equipment to "indicate their name, registered trade name or registered trade mark and the address at which they can be contacted on the apparatus/equipment or, where that is not possible, on its packaging or in a document accompanying the apparatus/equipment." Does anyone know if the MD anomalies marking the AR on the machine and indicating in the DoC the person authorized to compile the technical file will be retired soon through some sort of NLF revision of the Machinery Directive?
