Mechanical MD certification
In June 2006, the European Union issued the new Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, which became mandatory on December 30, 2009, replacing the old Directive 98/37/EC. The new directive has new requirements in terms of product scope, boundary delineation with other directives, market supervision, conformity assessment procedures, and basic health and safety requirements. Mechanical products exported to the European Union must undergo safety assessments in accordance with the requirements of the new Directive 2006/42/EC and be affixed with CE markings.
