Before you buy second-hand machines<\/strong> it is important to know all the documentation and formalities required, in order to avoid problems after the sale.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aspects to check for a safe machinery purchase include the serial and identification plate, as well as the original and purchase documentation. <\/span>However, one of the most important, and also the least known, is the <\/span>EU declaration of conformity<\/b>. Here's everything you need to know about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the EU declaration of conformity?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The <\/span>EU declaration of conformity<\/span><\/a>\u00a0is a document where the manufacturer of the machine declares that the machine complies with all the requirements laid down by the EU. Its content is specified in the Directive <\/span>2006\/42\/EC, which establishes that machinery placed on the market within the European Union must meet essential safety requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n

The information taken from this declaration must be incorporated into the technical documentation of the machine in order to obtain the CE marking. <\/span>This appears next to the identification plate of each machine, the location of which varies according to category and make.<\/p>\n
