Supply of Machinery Regulations 2008
These Regulations were implemented to enable the free movement of machines throughout the United Kingdom and into the United Kingdom from the rest of the world.
The purpose of these Regulations is to ensure that all machines sold within the United Kingdom are safe and do not endanger operators and third parties.
The manufacturer or importer is responsible for compliance under the Regulations. Within the provisions in the Regulations, manufacturers or importers are allowed to seek an independent report from an Approved Body as to the product’s conformity to the legislation.
Under the Regulations, certain machine types are identified in Annex IV (these are classified as dangerous machines with potentially high risks associated). These machines are required to comply with specific tests to ensure safety. One of the ways to meet the requirements is through carrying out a ‘full quality assurance’ assessment (this is referred to as Annex X).
We are approved for all machines listed in Annex IV and can conduct full type examination as defined within the Regulations. In addition, we can carry out Annex X assessments.
We will review technical files and inspect the machinery before issuing a Type Examination Certificate.
For machines not listed in Annex IV, we can conduct voluntary examinations to give higher confidence to your customers and United Kingdom customs that machines being sold or imported are compliant.
Every case we have been involved in is unique and we would be more than happy to tailor our service to your needs.

We will review test reports and supporting technical documentation to demonstrate compliance and issue an EMC Type Examination Certificate.
