I know this has been covered a number of times and I have searched the forum but I am hoping for some help with a few specific questions
- if a machine is designed and manufactured for use in-house (in the UK), does the manufacturer need only to comply with PUWER and not the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations?
- Should the evidence of compliance relate to UK Regulations (i.e. in schedule 1 of PUWER) rather than the EU Directives they were developed from?
- How far do the manufacturers have to go down the route of demonstrating compliance with EN standards?
- Is the use of a word-based checklist to assess compliance with the Essential Health and Safety Requirements adequate to demonstrate compliance with PUWER?
I really want to understand whether there is a pragmatic approach!

Even if a machine is designed in house with no intention of supplying to others, it still has to comply with the Supply of Machinery Regulations (assuming the machine does not fall into one of the excluded categories.)
You are still deemed to be placing the machine 'on the market'.
You need to generate a Technical File showing such things as the design assessment, how the EHSRs have been comlied with, the claimed standards to which the machine complies (Type A, B1, B2 or C standards), any relevant drawings/circuit diagrams etc, operating procedures etc.
The machine also has to comply with PUWER.
