Guidelines for CE marking electro-discharge machines

The declaration of conformity shows the EU directives which apply to electrodischarge machines (EDM) and to which the equipment complies with, must include at least the following: 

EU directives which apply to electrodischarge machine

The machine should comply with all the applicable directives and these should be mentioned in the declaration of conformity. 

The infringement of a single directive results in the non-conformity of the machine to EC requirements. 

Therefore, it is of utmost importance to specify which directives apply to each machine and to conduct a declaration of conformity that includes all the necessary information. Directives which apply to electro-discharge machines include: 

- Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) 
- Low Voltage Directive (2006/95/EC)1 
- Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (2004/108/EC)

Additionally the manufacturer should (voluntarily) refer to the harmonized standards used for the conformity assessment, such as: 

- EN ISO 28881 Machine tools - Safety - Electro-discharge machines 
- EN ISO 28881
- EN ISO 12100 Safety of machinery - Risk assessment and risk reduction
