Safety and compliance SC-13
Product stewardship
Product stewardship
Hypertherm maintains a global regulatory management system to make sure that products comply with regulatory
and environmental requirements.
National and local safety regulations
National and local safety regulations shall take precedence over instructions supplied with the product. The
product shall be imported, installed, operated, and disposed of in compliance with national and local regulations
applicable to the installation site.
Certification test marks
Certified products are identified by 1 or more certification test marks from accredited testing laboratories. The
certification test marks are found on or near the data plate.
Each certification test mark means that the product and its safety-critical parts conform to the national safety
standards as reviewed and determined by that testing laboratory. Hypertherm puts a certification test mark on its
products only after that product is manufactured with safety-critical parts that have been approved by the
accredited testing laboratory.
Once the product has left the Hypertherm factory, the certification test marks are invalid if any of these events
occurs:
The product is modified in a manner that creates a hazard or nonconformance with the applicable standards.
Safety-critical parts are replaced with unapproved spare parts.
Assembly is unauthorized.
An accessory that uses or generates a hazardous voltage is added.
There is tampering with a safety circuit or other feature that is designed into the product as part of the
certification, or otherwise.
A Conformité Européene (CE) mark constitutes a manufacturer’s declaration of conformity to applicable
European directives and standards. Only those versions of Hypertherm products with a CE mark found on or near
the data plate have been tested for compliance with the European Low Voltage Directive and the European
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive.
