Summary

The example manual was written for Directive 2006/42/EC. It covers the classic mechanical hazards well, but does not document protection against corruption of the software (1.1.9), the record of safety software versions (1.2.1), information for rescue (1.7.4.2 v) or the digital instructions regime of Article 10(7). The declaration of conformity still refers to the “EC declaration”.

Top 5 priorities

  1. 1

    1.1.9Protection against corruption

    Document the installed safety software, how to consult it and the protections against tampering.

  2. 2

    1.2.1Safety and reliability of control systems

    Describe the limits of the safety functions and keep a record of software versions for 5 years.

  3. 3

    Art. 10.7.aDigital instructions: how to access them

  4. 4

    1.7.4.2 (v)Immediate rescue of persons

    Include precautions and means for the immediate rescue of persons.

  5. 5
