Pilz UK offers step-by-step expertise
Pilz has updated one of its well-established courses, ‘Basis of CE Marking’, to include elements with a focus on UKCA marking - and the training is now available online.
‘Basis of CE & UKCA Marking’, says Pilz UK, “aims to provide participants with comprehensive knowledge of both processes through step-by-step sessions and practical exercises on a 3D machine model. After the training delegates should be able to assess the status of their own machines and their conformity with a detailed understanding of the process”.
Date for diaries
The date for diaries is Friday, 23rd July, and the session is equivalent to seven hours of CPD (Continuous Professional Development). Throughout the day, delegates will be introduced to the issues of the relevant directives and regulations and their requirements, as a manufacturer and as employers, with regards to the CE Marking and UKCA Marking of machines.
Both the CE Marking and UKCA Marking Processes describe the procedure for the certification of products in accordance with the specifications in their relevant geographical locations – CE Marking for the EU, UKCA for the UK.
At the end of the CE Marking process, affixing of the CE Mark indicates that all mandatory documentation is completed, such as Essential Health & Safety Requirements (EHSRs) in accordance with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, are met. Similarly, application of the UKCA Mark indicates that the mandatory safety requirements of Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 have been met.
