The complexity of regulations, the strength of habits, the cost of technical and security standards, both in the acquisition of documents, their reading and understanding, their business transposition, expose to a major risk of CE certification “insincere”, in particular in the case of machinery falling within category C standards (a standard dealing with detailed safety requirements for a particular machine or group of machines)
In certain trades, such as continuous conveyor belt bulk handling, which falls under EN 620 (category C), I have observed that a very large number of conveyors, bearing the CE mark, do not respond strictly to the safety requirements of the Machinery Directive 2006/42 / EC and repeated by the category A standard, reference EN ISO 12100v2010.
