In order to ensure safe operation of power tools and thus reduce the risk of accidents, power tools must meet high safety requirements in terms of electrical and mechanical safety.
As a DAkkS accredited testing laboratory, as a laboratory of the GS body and also as an accredited laboratory in the CB scheme, we also evaluate the functional safety and cybersecurity of your power tools. In doing so, we are guided by the requirements applicable in Europe in accordance with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. Outside of Europe, exporters may have to fulfil further national or regional requirements; the IECEE system for electrical equipment is particularly important here.
Our experts also test and certify the following machines, which are listed in Annex IV of the Machinery Directive and Annex I of the Machinery Regulation:
- Circular sawing machines
- Band sawing machines
- Planers and jointers
- Milling machines
- Chain saws
- Vehicle lifting platforms
- Personnel lifting equipment
