machinery without protection and protection

[mgdi]

Good morning to all,

I would like to ask and feel some opinion on the subject of which I do not find satisfactory clarifications.

the company for which work produces machinery that perform a certain function (packaging sector) so in extreme synthesis for the legislation are always machines.

It has already happened in the past and it happens today, from here the reason for the question, that some extra customers want to buy and buy the above machines without the anti-injury protections that we usually apply (read the shelters in pmma).

Now if I do not err the "my" machine remains machine even without the protections (it could perfectly work and carry out its task). to be sprocket except for the case in which it is inserted online (connection of conveyor belts for the supply of the products to be packaged) but also this if it is not erro is not justification for a declaration of incorporation and then it would not however be applicable in all cases of machines without shelter because some could be stand alone.

How can the company protect itself? a statement of incorporation I don't think it's "standard."

Would someone like to comment?
Thank you.

if you speak of machines then apply the definition referred to in Article 2 letter. a).
If not, I would say that apply the letter. g), almost machines.

a machine without means of protection and safety components is a machine and remains such.
§ 46 of the guidelines: "... the machines that are able to fulfil their own specific application but which lack only the means of protection or the necessary safety components should not be considered almost-machine. »
protection as shelter, whether present or absent, does not change the state of machine.
It is obvious that in the manual you will have to give directions on how to do it, how to place it, etc.

an almost machine becomes such when you do not have a well determined application.
on the various machines (I mean them so) that constitute a complex line/plant/machine I would say that to discriminate if they are machines or almost machines it is essential to understand if they have a clearly defined application. If I design a part of a line you want me not to study the application that will go to? ? ?
