Realised benefits
By employing Cenheard for their UKCA marking needs, our ally could relax and concentrate on the machine upgrade without the worry of creating a full UKCA mark compliant technical file. Cenheard started by determining which regulations the machinery would be required to comply with. The supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulation 2008, Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 and Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations 2016.
Using this information we determined an Annex VIII (Internal checks) conformity assessment would be sufficient in line with The supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulation 2008.
To kick things off Cenheard conducted a design risk assessment in line with BS EN ISO 12100 RA. Ensuring all relevant EHSR’s where covered through the hierarchy of controls. Identifying all the relevant British standards the equipment needed to comply with.
The client was then able to implement all the required changes and begin upgrading the machinery. Cenheard are vital in machinery design to ensure all relevant standards are met and simplified for the client.
Conducting a PLr study from the 12100 RA to allow the client to design the SRP/CS, a guard survey so the client could ensure compliance with BS EN ISO 14120 / 13857 and a SISTEMA report to test compliance with BS EN ISO 13849.
From this Cenheard could start compiling the technical file ensuring full compliance with The supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulation 2008. Issuing the client with the full technical file required by regulation and a soft copy for the end user.
