3.1.2 EC declaration of conformity and declaration of incorporation
The industrial robot constitutes partly completed machinery as defined by
the EC Machinery Directive. The industrial robot may only be put into op-
eration if the following preconditions are met:
• The industrial robot is integrated into a complete system.
or: The industrial robot, together with other machinery, constitutes a
complete system.
or: All safety functions and safeguards required for operation in the
complete machine as defined by the EC Machinery Directive have
been added to the industrial robot.
• The complete system complies with the EC Machinery Directive. This
has been confirmed by means of a conformity assessment procedure.
EC declaration of conformity
The system integrator must issue an EC declaration of conformity for the
complete system in accordance with the Machinery Directive. The EC dec-
laration of conformity forms the basis for the CE mark for the system. The
industrial robot must always be operated in accordance with the applicable
national laws, regulations and standards.
The robot controller has a CE mark in accordance with the EMC Directive
and the Low Voltage Directive.
Declaration of incorporation
The partly completed machinery is supplied with a declaration of incorpo-
ration in accordance with Annex II B of the Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC. The assembly instructions and a list of essential require-
ments complied with in accordance with Annex I are integral parts of this
declaration of incorporation.
The declaration of incorporation declares that the start-up of the partly
completed machinery is not allowed until the partly completed machinery
has been incorporated into machinery, or has been assembled with other
parts to form machinery, and this machinery complies with the terms of
the EC Machinery Directive, and the EC declaration of conformity is
present in accordance with Annex II A.
3.1.3 Terms in the “Safety” chapter
Term Description
Axis range Range of each axis, in degrees or millimeters, within which it may
move. The axis range must be defined for each axis.
Stopping distance Stopping distance = reaction distance + braking distance
The stopping distance is part of the danger zone.
Workspace Area within which the robot may move. The workspace is derived
from the individual axis ranges.
User The user of the industrial robot can be the management, employer
or delegated person responsible for use of the industrial robot.
