This Guidance is for CEIR members only and aims to help them with the new Machinery Directive, relying on the position agreed within the Product Committee 3 “Industrial Valves”.
It does not describe the new directive in detail, but:
- summarises the arguments on which the PC3 position paper relies, ie arguments that manufacturers will need to explain this directive to their customers;
- indicates to manufacturers what actions they should take, according to cases considered in the PC3 position paper, and provides them with tools to do this.
CEIR members may obtain this guide from the CEIR secretariat.
