production machines. The machine tool manufacturer can verify his machines
himself with SINUMERIK Safety Integrated regardless of whether harmonized
Standards exist or not.
A machine must, however, pass an acceptance test successfully (refer to
Chapter 5, "Acceptance test" and "Acceptance report"). Verification is greatly
simplified even for machines that are covered by Appendix IV of the
EC Machinery Directive for which no harmonized standards yet exist.
The machine manufacturer should indicate that his machine has a type-
examination certificate for SINUMERIK Safety Integrated
or declaration of conformity.
2.1.6

Product liability law

Product liability law

Damage resulting from defective products and absolute proof of the fault cause
are the prerequisites for product liability. The only effective protection against
such liability are measures that can prevent the occurrence or the effects of
faults or errors that impair or endanger the proper operation of machinery.
