The Machinery Directive anticipates that machine builders may
need to appoint competent persons
manufacturers of these types of machine
can self-certify or mandate an authorised
representative to carry out the conformity
assessment, usually a more cost effective
route to CE certification without the need
for EC-type examination provided by a
Notified Body.

some or all of the

required to CE mark a

Machinery Directive
defines an authorised
representative as
‘…any natural or legal
person established in
the Community who
has received a written
mandate from the manufacturer
to perform on
his behalf all or part of
the obligations and formalities
connected with
this directive’. The role of authorised representative
is described under the new
Machinery Directive EC 2006/42 -
Annex II A.
There are major advantages for a manufacturer
that uses an inspection body as
an authorised representative rather than a
Notified Body. The inspection body is
not prohibited from providing comprehensive

safety lifecycle, so it can help the manufacturer
identify non-conformity, propose
solutions, engineer these solutions, validate
them, certify and CE mark the
machine and it can significantly reduce
administration and engineering costs as
well as time to market.
Industry demands solution-providers
who are competent to tackle machine
safety throughout the entire life-cycle,
which requires a combination of expertise
in both safety standards compliance,
sound engineering and automation experience
on machinery. Accreditation as a
Type C inspection body in accordance
with IEC 17020 guarantees the impartiality
of conformity assessments, while
allowing the body to apply its TUV certification
and expertise covering the application
of a safety management system to
IEC 61508 to integrate functional safety
systems. This produces safe machines
that are both usable and productive.
