CE Mark for Machinery Issued

BICON recently finished several consulting projects for manufacturers from USA. We assisted with our services Flowtronex PSI, Columbus, Ohio, Emerson Ultrasonics Corp., The Cloeren Company, Orange, TX, Z.M.D. International, Paramount, CA to apply the CE Mark to their equipment:

Thank you. You did an outstanding job with the manual.
-- Mr. Lee Linam, Director Engineering & R&D of The Cloeren Company.

Thank you very much for excellent job done.
-- Mr. Jacob Horev, Marketing Director of Z.M.D. International, Inc.

How to get the CE Mark:
The typical procedure for machinery is

perform a hazard assessment of the machinery
check electrical diagrams against EN 60204 (Safety of machinery)
check against other harmonized European Standards if they apply
make necessary changes to the machinery
copywriting of instruction/maintenance manual and/or translation
compile construction file as required by directives
issue EC Declaration of Conformity.

We have a free report CE Mark Requirements for Machinery available on the net. This valuable report helps you to understand the basic ideas underlying the machinery directives and provides some "hands on" advice when you want to sell machinery into the European Community. (July 16th,1996)
