6.7. CE Marking and Documentation

6.7.1. Scope
This section explains the main requirements of the health and safety laws which you need to know when you are buying new
machinery (for second-hand machinery, see question 9) to be put into service in the European Union (EU).
Therefore, a machine made outside of the EU but placed on the EU market shall comply with the EU rules regarding CE
marking.
The EU countries are: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Republic of Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal,
Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the UK.
By virtue of the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA) machinery that complies with the CE marking rules also
benefits from free movement in Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. The same is true in Switzerland by virtue of the mutual
recognition agreement with the EU and in Turkey in virtue of the EU-Turkey Customs Union.
Outside of the EU market, different countries could have different requirements (NEC, OSHA…) for machinery put into service
in such countries but the process given in this document remains valid.

6.7.2. Attendance
This section of the current Mars standard is intended for personnel responsible to purchase compliant new machinery in term of
safety in accordance with European directives.

6.7.3. Guide to CE marking and documentation conformity check

6.7.3.1. General
Most new machinery should have CE marking when you buy it. However, CE marking is only a claim by the manufacturer
that the machinery is safe and that they have met relevant supply law. You, the user, also have to check that it is, in fact,
safe. To understand what this means when you are buying new machinery, it helps if you understand what the manufacturer
(or supplier) has to do.
(References: 2006/42/EC - Machinery Directive and 2009/104/EC - Use of Work Equipment by Workers at Work Use Directive)

6.7.3.2. Harmonized European standards

A harmonised standard is a European standard developed by a recognised European Standards Organisation: CEN, CENELEC,
or ETSI. It is created following a request from the European Commission to one of these organisations. Manufacturers, other
economic operators, or conformity assessment bodies can use harmonised standards to demonstrate that products, services,
or processes comply with relevant EU legislation.

A "European Harmonised Standard" is a standard that is in support of one or more European Directives as a practical method
of guaranteeing the high level of protection to workers that is intended by essential requirements (EHSR’s) of the Directives.
The use of standards is not mandatory although some European Directives make direct reference to them and therefore their
application becomes obligatory. There is always a presumption of conformity with the directives if a machine is built to the
appropriate Harmonised Standards.
Page 4 of 22
Machine Safety Standard - Book 6.7

European Standards (or Euro Norms) are identified by the letters “EN”.

The communalisation of standards is taking place throughout the world and the European Union is working with international
standard authorities, such as ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and the IEC, (the International
Electrotechnical Commission), to adopt a global approach to this policy. As such standard references such as EN ISO 12100
are entering the family of European Standards.

Standards for the safety of machinery in Europe fall into 3 basic categories:

Type A standards:
Fundamental safety standards, giving basic principles for design and general aspects for all machinery.
Type B standards:
Grouping more specific safety standards that may be applied across a range of machines and industries. B standards are further
subdivided:
• B1 standards detail the overriding safety aspects.
• B2 standards cover the actual safety devices.
Type C standards:
Machinery safety standards for specific types of machines or industry applications.

Page 5 of 22
Machine Safety Standard - Book 6.7

The CEN has produced a number of type C standards which set out safety requirements for certain types or groups of food
industry machinery.
If there is a published standard relevant to a machine you are purchasing, this should be specified in the purchase contract.
See Appendix B where a list of type C standards for food and packaging process is reported.
The full updated list of applicable harmonized standards is published in the Official Journal of the European Union and is
available at the following website address:
https://ec.europa.eu/growth/single-market/european-standards/harmonised-standards_en

 Reminder: A 'CE' mark on a machine is a claim by the manufacturer that the machine complies with the Essential Health
and Safety Requirements (EHSRs) of the Machinery Directive (supply law), for example by complying with the relevant
harmonized standards that give the presumption of conformity.

6.7.3.3. Question and Answers

Question 1: What is the law on new machinery?
There are two groups of law:
• One deals with what manufacturers and suppliers of new machinery have to do. This can be called the
supply law which require manufacturers and suppliers to ensure that machinery is safe when supplied
and to have CE marking. (NOTE: where the word 'safe' is used, it should be regarded as including risks
to both safety and health.)
• The other deals with what the users of machinery and other equipment have to do.
This can be called the user law. These require employers to
o Provide the right kind of safe equipment for use at work;
o Ensure that it can be used correctly; and
o Keep it maintained in a safe condition.
If you buy new equipment (including machinery) this law also requires you, as a user, to check that the equipment complies
with all the supply law that is relevant.

Question 2: What does the manufacturer have to do?

Manufacturers must make sure that the machines they make are safe. They will do this by:
• Finding out about the health and safety hazards (trapping, noise, crushing, electrical shock, dust,
vibration, etc.) that are likely to be present when the machine is used;
• Assessing the likely risks;
• Designing out the hazards that result in risks; or, if that is not possible,
• Providing safeguards (e.g., guarding dangerous parts of the machine, providing noise enclosures for
noisy parts); or, if that is not possible,
• Using warning signs on the machine to warn of hazards that cannot be designed out or safeguarded (e.g.,
“Noisy Machine” signs).

Manufacturers must also:

• Keep information, explaining what they have done and why, in a technical file;
• Fix CE marking to the machine where necessary, to show that they have complied with all the relevant supply
laws (see question 10 for machines which will be part of an assembly line);
• Issue a 'Declaration of Conformity' for the machine (also see question 7);
• Provide you, the buyer, with instructions to explain how to install, use and maintain the machinery
safely.
Note:
Mars engineers shall do the same when purchase separate devices and then integrate them by themselves as a
solution controlled by the same control system (Mars engineered).

Page 7 of 22
Machine Safety Standard - Book 6.7

When you combine a series of complete machines and / or partly completed machines so they operate as a single
assembly line (i.e. under a single control system), you have to:
apply the CE mark
issue a Declaration of Conformity
produce / keep a technical file
This must be done for the complete assembly line as a whole, even if each individual machine has its own CE mark.
The technical file only needs to contain the design details and drawings of any control systems and other parts you've
had to supply or modify, and the Declarations of Conformity / Incorporation for each of the items in the line.

Question 3: What do I need to do when buying a new machine?

Before you buy, think about:
• Where and how it will be used;
• What it will be used for;
• Who will use it (skilled employees, trainees);
• What risks to health and safety might result;
• Comparing how well health and safety risks are controlled by different
manufacturers.

This can help you to decide which machine may be suitable, particularly if you are buying a standard machine 'off the shelf'.

If you are buying a more complex or custom-built machine you should discuss your requirements with potential suppliers. They
can often advise you on the options available.
For a custom-built machine, you can use the opportunity to work with the supplier to design out the causes of injury and ill
health. Some of the items you can cover are in checklist A. Time spent now on agreeing the necessary safeguards, to control
health and safety risks, could save time and money later and prevent safety related incidents due to a risk misidentification.
Requirements specified at Question 2 still apply here. Therefore, Question 2 and 3 are closely related.
Safety specifications should be written together with the supplier(s) on the basis of a Risk Assessment previously executed
with the same supplier(s)
Sometimes machinery is supplied via another organization, e.g. an importer, rather than direct from the manufacturer, so this
organization is referred to as the supplier.

When you place the order, specify in writing that the machine should be compliant to Machine Directive (and other if
any), to relevant standards and Mars internal standard as well.
However, if possible, the approach described in 6.7.3.5. should be preferred.

Page 8 of 22
Machine Safety Standard - Book 6.7

Question 4: What do I do if I think the machinery I have bought is not safe?

Do not use it. Contact the manufacturer or supplier for advice and arrange for the machine to be put right.

Question 5: What does a Declaration of Conformity have on it?

• The name and address of the manufacturer or other responsible person.
• The make, type and serial number of the machine.
• The signature of an authorized person and information on:
o Which standards have been used in the design and manufacture (if any);
o What European Union laws (directives) the machine complies with.

(see also Appendix C Declaration of Conformity)

Question 6: What is a Declaration of Incorporation?

The manufacturer shall issue a Declaration of Incorporation in the case of partly completed machinery.
“Partly completed machinery” means an assembly which is almost machinery but which cannot in itself perform a specific
application. A drive system is partly completed machinery. Partly completed machinery is only intended to be incorporated into
or assembled with other machinery or other partly completed machinery or equipment, thereby forming machinery to which this
Directive applies;
A partly completed machinery will not have CE marking.
(See Appendix D for further details)

Question 7: Do importers and suppliers have to follow these requirements if the machinery is made outside Europe?
All suppliers have to make sure the machinery they supply in the European Economic Area (EEA) is safe no matter where it
is made. The EEA includes the European Union member countries and also Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein, but excludes
Switzerland even though that country is implementing the European Directive.

They also need to check that:

• the manufacturer has carried out all the steps involved in making sure the machine is safe;
• there is a Declaration of Conformity or Incorporation for the machine;
• there are full instructions for installing, using and maintaining the machine; and
• if complete, the machine has CE marking.

WARNING: If you are importing or constructing the machine yourself, you take on the responsibilities of the supplier.

Page 9 of 22
Machine Safety Standard - Book 6.7

Question 8: Does new machinery have to be made to any particular standards?

The machine must comply with the Essential Health and Safety Requirements (EHSRs) of the supply law. However, when a
machine has been made to the specification in a harmonized European Standard (identified by an EN before the number),
there is a presumption that it conforms to the relevant EHSRs. The use of these standards is voluntary. Some European
Standards for particular types of machinery are already available. (see 6.7.3.2.)
Manufacturers can design and manufacture their machinery to other product standards, e.g. British or American standards, as
long as they are certain the machine will comply with the relevant EHSRs and be safe. However, the use of such standards,
during manufacture, does not give a presumption of conformity with the relevant EHSRs.
In some circumstances, machinery (for example, some woodworking machinery and power-presses) must be type-examined
by an independent third party if they are not made in accordance with a harmonized standard. Details will be given on the
Declaration of Conformity.

Question 9: What about buying second-hand machinery?

It has to be safe for use. In some cases it will not have CE marking (if made before 1995), but it is still the duty of the supplier
to make sure that it is safe and has instructions for safe use. There is also the duty on you (the user) to make sure that
second-hand machinery is:
• Safe;
• Suitable for the work it is to do;
• Maintained in a safe condition.

If a second-hand machine has been totally refurbished (for example, adding CNC control to a machine, together with other
work) it may have CE marking. This is because the way it operates is different after the refurbishment and as a result it has
been treated as if it was a new machine.

These all requirements apply also in the case of a Mars business unit outside the EEA is to transfer a machine to a Mars business
unit inside.

Question 10: What about machinery that will be part of an assembly line?
If a machine is designed to be incorporated into other machinery, it might not have CE marking fixed to it. It should be
manufactured to be as safe as possible and be provided with a Declaration of Incorporation Instructions on safe installation and
use should also be provided (see Appendix D).
When the machine is fitted into the assembly line, particular attention must be given to any hazards which may have been
caused by the machine being fitted into the line. For instance, additional guarding or other controls may be required (see also
note in Question 2)
Once the machine has been fitted and the whole line is safe, the technical file should be completed and either the machine or
the whole line should have CE marking. This can be done by a project manager (e.g. the installer, assembler or the manufacturer)
but in many cases you can do it according to article 12 of Machinery Directive (see

Page 10 of 22
Machine Safety Standard - Book 6.7

Question 11: Do I always have to buy the manufacturers safeguards?

Normally, it is better to buy the machine with all the manufacturer's safeguards included. However, in special circumstances,
for example where particular tools, etc. are going to be incorporated or an existing noise enclosure is going to be re-used,
there can be a specific written agreement relating to the provision of these particular items, between you, the buyer, and the
supplier. But you must sign to accept this responsibility and in effect become involved in the final part of the manufacturing
process. The CE marking should be added to the machine by the manufacturer or by you, the user, after the other safeguards,
etc., have been fitted.

Question 12: Exclusions?

The supply law does not apply to the following machinery:
• Those intended for use outside the EEA
• Second-hand (when not refurbished)
• Manually-powered machinery except machinery used for lifting or lowering loads
• Medical machinery used in direct contact with patients
• Specialized fairground or amusement park equipment
• Steam boilers, tanks and pressure vessels
• Nuclear equipment which will emit radioactivity if it fails
• Radioactive sources forming part of a machine
• Firearms
• Storage tanks and pipelines for petrol, diesel, inflammable liquids and dangerous substances
• Passenger transport vehicles and their trailers (air, road, rail or water)
• Sea-going vessels and mobile offshore units and their equipment
• Cableways including funicular railways used to carry passengers
• Some agricultural and forestry tractors
• Military and police equipment
• Some lifts
• Mine winding gear
• Theatre elevators
• Construction site hoists

These machines have specific regulations and/or European directives and/or harmonised standard.

For instance: Steam Boiler, tanks and pressure vessel must comply with 2014/68/EU - Pressure Equipment Directive and
relevant harmonized standards published in the Official Journal of European Union as e.g. EN ISO 4126-1:2013 Safety devices
for protection against excessive pressure - Part 1: Safety valves

6.7.3.4. Checklists

Checklist A—What Should I Talk to a Supplier (or Manufacturer) About?

Tell the supplier where the machine will be used, what you want to use it for and who will be using it, relevant corporate
standards, particularly if it is a complex or custom-built machine. Ask the supplier the following:

□ What health and safety risks might there be when using the machine?
□ Are there any dangerous parts and what guards will be provided?
□ Will it need emergency stop controls and how will it be isolated?
□ How do the controls and control systems work?
□ Will dust or fumes, etc. be produced by the machine? If these are likely to be in significant quantities, can an existing
extraction system be adapted to cope with the new machine or will you have to buy a new system?

□ Has the machinery been designed to minimize the noise and vibration levels produced?

□ Are there any extremely hot or very cold parts of the machine, and can they be insulated or protected?

□ Are there any lasers or thickness gauges, and can any exposure to radiation be eliminated? If not, what
precautions are there to stop any exposure to radiation?

□ What has been done to eliminate the risk of electric shock particularly during maintenance work, when
covers or control panel doors may be open?

□ Will the supplier conform to relevant Company standards (or parts of), such as the Asset Conservation Manual,
Machinery Safeguarding and Control of Hazardous Energy, etc.?

□ Are there possible risks from other sources of energy such as hydraulic or pneumatic?
□ Is there clear information about installation, maintenance, and breakdown procedures?
□ Will you inform me if problems arise with similar machines bought by other users?

In addition it is good practice for the supplier or manufacturer to have a service back-up or help line, so that you can get further
information as you need it. You could check what is in place before buying.

Page 12 of 22
Machine Safety Standard - Book 6.7

Checklist B—What Do I Do When I Have Bought New Machinery?

□ Check that it has CE marking (where necessary) and ask for a copy of the EC Declaration of Conformity if you have
not been given one.

□ Check that the supplier has explained what the machinery is designed to be used for and what it cannot be used for
(unless this is off-the-shelf machinery).

□ Make sure a manual has been supplied which includes instructions for safe use, assembly, installation,
commissioning, safe handling, adjustment and maintenance.

□ Make sure the instruction manual is written in your language. (The maintenance instructions may however be written
in another language if specialized staff from the manufacturer or supplier will carry out maintenance.)

□ Make sure information has been provided about any remaining risks from the machine, and the precautions you need
to take to deal with them. These may include electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, stored energy, thermal, radiation, dust,
fumes or health hazards.

□ Check that data about noise and vibration levels have been provided and, where necessary, explained to you.

□ Ensure that any warning signs are visible and easy to understand.

□ For a complex or custom-built machine arrange for a trial run so you can be shown the safety features and how they
work.

□ Check against Mars Corporate Standards.

□ Make sure any early concerns about the safety of the machine are reported to the supplier.

Remember:

NEVER assume that machinery is safe just because it has CE marking.

By affixing the CE mark, the manufacturer is claiming that the machinery complies with the law but this should be
dubious sometimes. CE marking in itself does not guarantee safety. You still need to check the machine is safe for
use on your site, before it is used.

Page 13 of 22
Machine Safety Standard - Book 6.7

6.7.3.5. Additional Safety Related Documentation

By European legislation, the manufacturer is not obligated to deliver elements of the technical file related to the machinery to
you.

It is mandatory for the machine builder to give you the instruction manual, the declaration of conformity and to place a CE mark
on the machine. In case of partly completed machinery, the assembly instructions and the declaration of incorporation.

However, in order to be help you in checking the conformity of the machinery and check if the relevant directive(s) and related
standards (which shall be mentioned on the declaration of conformity) are properly applied, it is recommended, you request
expressly during negotiations the following additional documentation:

a) Risk assessment report

b) Safety requirement specifications related to the safety functions installed on the machinery
c) Performance Level calculations of those safety functions.
d) Validation checklist.

- a), b), c), should be delivered immediately after design and before construction.

-When construction is ended, d) should be delivered to you by the manufacturer before equipment shipment.

Another best practice, if possible, should be to check this documentation directly on manufacturer’s site during specific visits
after each step or at least before shipment to be sure to introduce a safe and compliant machinery in Mars production site.

These checks should be done and documented by Mars personnel or safety specialist third part charged by Mars.
