Re: [PSES] Future of marking authorized representative on machines?

2013-07-16 Thread Kunde, Brian
On our DoCs we have always listed our Sales and Service Office in the EU for 
our European Contact. The Machinery Directive required that we include the NAME 
of a Person in the EU, which we have been doing for several years now. HOWEVER, 
this person just recently quit our company. Now What? What good is his name on 
all our previous DoCs if he no longer works for our company? Does he personally 
still hold some responsibility for products and a company he no longer works 
for?

And, what is our obligation to update our DoCs with a new person's name on 
them? It could take weeks or months to work the new DoCs into manuals, Bill of 
Materials, go through the approval cycle, etc..

The same would hold true if the AR or Importer's name was on the product. You 
may have thousands of products labeled and warehoused ready to be shipped to 
the EU when the person quits. Nightmare.

Brian,

The MD guide clarifies that both the AR and the person authorized to compile 
the technical file (and they can be different people) can both be a natural or 
legal person. In other words the both can either be a named individual or a 
company. Companies tend to last longer than individuals in a particular 
position, so it seems better to indicate a company as AR.

A DoC that references a name (whether individual or company) that is no longer 
correct is, I think, well..., no longer correct.

What indeed.

What good is his name on all our previous DoCs if he no longer works

Zilch.

Does he personally still hold some responsibility for products and a 
company he no longer works for?


Extremely unlikely, unless he was personally involved in a deception.

The Directive is famous for lack of practical thought during its 
compilation. Do what you think best, and document it so it could be 
produced in court if necessary. You can include a text that explains the 
impracticality.

 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?

It seems very likely, since the NLF is designed to improve market 
surveillance. Consider that, at present, the AR name may be put on a 
machine imported irregularly by another company that remains anonymous.
