Knowhow is the difference

Use of COMPAC workshop press

As a manufacturer of workshop presses, we often receive questions concerning equipment on the
press in relation to work safety. In the following, we define the limitations in the use of Compac
workshop presses.
The press is manufactured and sold as a workshop press. In the operating manual is a reservation
whereby the press must only be used for normal workshop use and not as a production press.
The Compac workshop press is such a press if it is used for ordinary repair work in a workshop or for
testing tools, without any structural changes made to the workshop press.
If the owner of the press allows the press to be used in production or in production-like conditions or
processes, it is the owner's responsibility to convert or fit out the press so it is compliant with the work
safety requirements in effect in the EU system and the national requirements in the country where the
press is used.
Compac further underscores that it is always the owner's responsibility to ensure that the purchased
equipment is safe to use for the work in question.
For this reason, it is also the owner's responsibility to have a risk assessment of the work made before
buying and commissioning the press, in order to determine whether a workshop press can in fact be
used for the work.
Workshop presses are covered by the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
Compac cannot advise customers on safety matters relating to its products if they are used for
purposes other than their original purpose. For owners wishing to use the product in other contexts or
with other equipment fitted on the product, we refer you to EU legislation concerning production
presses and the individual countries' work environment legislation.
As an example, in Denmark we refer you to:
The Executive Order Consolidating the Work Environment Act.
The Danish Ministry of Employment's ministerial act concerning Chapter 4, section 15 Ordinary
Obligations of the Employer The employer must ensure that the working conditions comply with all
health and safety requirements.
Before commissioning of the workshop press, Compac will accept the return of the press if after a risk
assessment of the work at hand, the owner recognizes that it will not be possible to use the press safely
for the intended work. The terms of such a return are that the customer and/or the distributor returns the
press freight-free and in unused condition.
