Guida nuova Direttiva RE(D) combinata con Direttiva macchine

Guida Orgalime RED combinata con Direttiva macchine

il 13 Giugno è entrata pienamente in vigore la nuova Direttiva 2014/53/UE RED (recepita in Italia dal D.lgs. 22 giugno 2016 n. 128) che ha sostituito la Direttiva 1999/5/CE R&TTE.

Alla luce della nuova Direttiva RE, Orgalime chiarisce il caso di apparecchiature radio utilizzate nelle macchine conformi alla Direttiva 2006/42/CE.

La  Guida ha l'obiettivo è fornire gli opportuni chiarimenti sui casi che più comunemente si verificano per apparecchiature radio incorporate nelle macchine.

Tra le altre, la Guida “Orgalime guidance on the manufacturer’s obligations for the combination of a machine with radio equipment” analizza le seguenti situazioni:

- apparecchiature radio funzionanti in combinazione con nuove macchine senza essere incorporate o installate in modo fisso nella macchina stessa;
- apparecchiature radio incorporate in nuove macchine in modo fisso e permanente;
- apparecchiature radio incorporate in “quasi-macchine” in modo fisso e permanente;
- macchine già immesse sul mercato e dotate successivamente di apparecchiature radio.

Orgalime guidance on RED Combined Equipment

Orgalime guidance on the manufacturer’s obligations for the combination of a machine with radio equipment

Brussels, 12 giugno 2017

This paper is addressed to manufacturers of machines, which use radio equipment on the machine. In this paper it is assumed that only radio equipment bearing CE-marking according to the Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU (RED) is incorporated into the final product, for example a machine.

The Guide to the Radio Equipment Directive also addresses, in the explanations provided by the RED Administrative Cooperation Group (AdCo) and the Telecommunication Conformity Assessment and Market Surveillance Committee (TCAM) the combination of radio equipment with non-radio products, in the following way:

Non-radio products (i.e. electrical or electronic products whose function is not to intentionally emit or receive radio waves), may function with radio equipment.

This information paper is intended to provide guidance on the application of the Radio Equipment Directive with respect to machinery containing radio equipment. The following cases commonly occur in practice:

- Radio equipment is operated on new machinery without being attached to the machinery in a fixed way or being incorporated into the machinery
- Radio equipment is incorporated in new machinery in a fixed and permanent way
- Used machinery is retrospectively fitted with radio equipment
- Radio equipment is incorporated in partly completed machinery in a fixed and permanent way
