Posted in Documents

Recommendation for Use' (RfU) sheets

The following "Recommendation for Use" sheets reflect the common position of the Notified Bodies in the Machinery Sector and have been endorsed by the Machinery Working Group. 

Their purpose is to assist Notified Bodies in their tasks of conformity assessment of machinery, mainly for the EC type-examination procedure, in accordance with the terms of the Machinery Directive. 

All stakeholders involved in the implementation of the Directive should be aware of the existence of this information.

"Recommendation for Use" sheets prefixed by 00 are of a horizontal nature, and apply to all types of machinery listed in Annex IV of the Machinery Directive. Other "Recommendation for Use" sheets are of a vertical nature, and apply more specifically to a particular category of machinery listed in Annex IV. 

For example, sheets prefixed by 01 deal with woodworking machinery and are issued by Vertical Group N° 1 of the Coordination of Notified Bodies.
