Compliance marking and directives
(Declaration of
Conformity)
Machines delivered to an
EU country are CE
marked. This means that,
when delivered to the
customer, the machine
meets the applicable
"Essential Health and
Safety Requirements" as
set out in the EU's so-
called Machinery
directive, 2006/42/EC.
The person making any changes that affect machine safety is also
responsible for the same.
Proof of compliance is confirmed by the provision of an EU declaration of
conformity. The declaration is issued by Volvo Construction Equipment for
each individual machine. This EU declaration also includes attachments
manufactured by Volvo Construction Equipment. The documentation is a
valuable resource which should be kept safe and retained for at least ten
years. The document should always accompany the machine when it is
sold.
If the machine is used for purposes other than those described in this
manual, safety must be guaranteed in all circumstances. A modification
may in certain cases require new CE marking and issuing of a new EU
declaration of conformity. The person performing the modification is
responsible for this.
