Many machines and pieces of equipment are imported from outside the European Union (imports from China are particularly dangerous here). They are installed in technological lines, which causes a real threat to the health and life of operators. These machines, despite the fact that they are often new, need to be upgraded straight away in order to be approved for use in production.
Machines manufactured before 1 January 2003 can be adapted to the so-called minimum requirements, whereas all those manufactured later must bear the CE mark (basic requirements).
IMI-Polska Sp. z o.o. helps to go through the conformity assessment process by conducting appropriate safety audits. In addition, we can also modify the design and perform the necessary upgrades so that the machines or production lines meet all safety standards.
Harmonised standards can be divided into three types:
these are the standards that apply to every machine. An example of such a standard is one of the most important standards for risk assessment. (PN-EN ISO 12100:2012 Safety of machinery — General principles for design — Risk assessment and risk reduction).
these are the standards that apply to specific groups of machines, e.g. those equipped with an electric drive. Here are the examples of such standards: EN ISO 13850:2012 Safety of machinery — Emergency stop function — Principles for design, EN 953+A1:2009 Safety of machinery — Guards — General requirements for the design and construction of fixed and movable guards, or EN 349+A1:2010 Safety of machinery – Minimum gaps to avoid crushing of parts of the human body.
these are standards applicable to specific types of machines, e.g. packaging machines, machines for the food or timber industry.
we take care of the entire process, from the design through the execution/modernisation to the start-up
