Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations:2008

There are basically three steps a manufacturer must comply with prior to placing a product on the market:

The responsible person should ensure that machinery and safety components satisfy the relevant essential health and safety requirements of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations and that, where appropriate, relevant conformity assessment procedures have been carried out;

The responsible person must issue a declaration of conformity which is issued with the finished product so that it is available to the user. This will contain various details such as the manufacturer's address, the machinery type and serial number, and the harmonised European, or other standards, used in design; and

When the first two steps have been satisfactorily completed, the responsible person or person supplying or assembling the final product should affix the CE marking if they are satisfied it is safe.
