Posted By Heather Collins Not CE marked retrospectively no (unless you are importing it for the first time into the EC from a country outside the EC) however you should certainly have an in-house means of checking the safety of the machine under PUWER. We have a formal sign-off system for this type of case, with all interested parties being required to sign to say they are happy with the machine - safety, engineering, QA, production, etc. This forms a part of the risk assessment process for a new or relocated machine and is done whether the machine is being moved across the world or across to the other side of the same factory.

Posted By Paul Yu If I am you, I will go through the PUWER, check each clauses in the regulations. In fact, you can CE mark your machine, self Declaration. As you can provdie evdience that the machine is safe and a technical file for the machine. The technical file should meet the mandatory requirement that including the risk assessment, checklist of machinery directive and oeprational manual etc.
