There are a number of specific guides published in the UK, but we have concentrated on Machinery here.
Machinery Directive Guide (UK)
Down load the guide here from our sister site. it is in .pdf format.
'New Approach' Directives set out 'essential requirements', written in general terms, which must be met before products may be supplied in the United Kingdom or anywhere else in the Community.
The Directives also say how manufacturers are to show that products meet the 'essential requirements'. Products meeting the requirements are to carry CE marking, which should mean that they can be supplied anywhere in the Community.
The Machinery Directive 89/392/EEC, as amended by Directives 91/368/EEC, 93/44/EEC and 93/68/EEC is such a Directive.
Low Voltage Directive Guide
Down load the guide here from our sister site. it is in .pdf format.
The Directives also state how manufacturers should demonstrate that products meet the 'Essential Requirements'. Products meeting these requirements carry CE marking, which means they can be sold anywhere in the European Union.
The Low Voltage Directive is one such Directive. It has been implemented into (consolidated) United Kingdom law by the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 1994 which came into force, subject to certain transitional provisions, on 9 January 1995.
The rest of this booklet describes the Regulations.
