UKCA Marking and Compliance

Machinery manufacturers have been obliged to carry out conformity assessments and conformity assessment procedures on machines built. This involves documentation that confirms that the requirements of The Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 (UK equivalent of the European Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC) have been met. Manufacturers should also affix the compliance mark to their machines so that end users are aware that compliance has been achieved.
