standards for structural testing of machines

[st3fano68]

Hello everyone,
I am a mechanical engineer and I have never worked as a machine designer (see that my work is another) but a friend long ago asked me if I could certify the machine parts he compels (made hooks, modifications to garbage compactors etc...etc...). I wanted to know what basic regulations should be respected for the design and drafting of the technical dossier. In particular, I remember that at the university, we were referred to as reference regulations for structural verification the one 10011 for the assessment of admissible tensions or limit states. are those still the standards to be respected for structural verification of machine components? I know that there are several directives to apply, depending on the use of the machine, but it seems to me that these rules do not treat the structural part.
Could you be so kind to enlighten me?
Thank you very much

a little clarity and perhaps I recommend you before giving an eye to the directive.
Machine Directive: 2006/42/ce: applies to machines (read the arts. 1 and 2)
the harmonised rules which help the designer to assume conformity of the various machines.

on the comparisons there is something, on the hooks also (use the site of the unit to search).

One 10011 has been dead for a while.
for structural checks the technical standards of product are used if there are otherwise the criteria are invented.
