Machinery Safety Evaluation
A cost efficient approach to compliance with the requirements of the European Union (EU) is vital in today’s highly competitive market. An integrated program which plans, tests, and documents considerably speeds up the certification process.
The certification of large equipment does not have to be a complicated process. Rules and regulations have now been in place for over 8 years. Accurate, knowledgeable test services, conducted by experienced engineers can provide a clear understanding of the EU requirements.
Linked with a document preparation service which supplies the finished files direct to the EU competent authorities gives manufacturers the confidence to export to Europe and other markets.
Our clients do not have to tear down their machine and re-assemble it at the test laboratory site, the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), Electrical Safety test/assessment, and the machinery safety audit can all be performed at the client’s facility, at their convenience.
QAI offers on-site or in-situ testing and evaluation services for industrial machines which are too large and heavy to be evaluated in the typical laboratory. The decision for on-site evaluation can be a result of any one of the following conditions:
- Size of equipment
- Weight of equipment
- Economical Transportation
- Need for additional services – hydraulics/pneumatic etc.
- Electrical mains supply
- Specialist support equipment
