General Information
Which devices have to comply
with the new Machinery Directive
The technical construction file must be retained for a minimum of 10 years af‐
ter the supply of the last product, and must be presented within a period of a
few days in the event of a claim for damages.
"State of the art" means technical possibilities at a certain point of time that
are based on certain scientific and technical knowledge. The state of the art
also means something that is commercially viable, i.e. that it can be realized
by the majority in the industrial sector concerned.
The "state of the art is" defined as the state of development of advanced pro‐
cedures, equipment or operating methods, that makes the practical applica‐
bility of the measure appear assured overall in respect of the targeted goals
(e.g. the goals of protection of work, protection of the environment, safety of
third parties and operating efficiency: Namely to achieve a generally high lev‐
el overall in relation to the aspects under consideration).
The state of the art can change, independent from the standards.
The European Directives mainly contain general requirements for the safety
of products; however they do not contain any details of how to carry them
out. The European Standards Institutes are responsible for this. They provide
implementation proposals for real safety problems or specific product
classes. Standards that are assumed to meet and correctly interpret the re‐
quirements of the Directives are designated as "harmonized standards".
However, most of the available standards are not harmonized.
By applying and implementing harmonized standards, a manufacturer can
claim conformity for the respective product. However, the standards, in con‐
trast to the Directives, are not legally binding. This means that the manufac‐
turer may also take into consideration other solutions that are not described
in the standards. However, these solutions must attain at least the same
safety level as the relevant standards and meet the requirements of the ap‐
propriate Directives.

The Machinery Directive (MD) 2006/42/EC is valid from 29th December,
2009. This means that all machines and safety components that will be
brought to market after this date have to comply with this new MD and its
harmonized standards. For Bosch Rexroth hand-held terminals this means
that – besides the new Machine Directive – also the standard EN ISO
13849-1:2008 will be used instead of the old standard EN 954-1. The EN ISO
13849-1 standard requires the specification of the B
relevant component "enabling device" and for the emergency stop pushbut‐
ton or gray stop pushbutton.
This rule is valid for Bosch Rexroth and its customers:
