Placing on the market of agricultural machinery and equipment

The laboratory provides comprehensive support for testing, evaluation and placing of agricultural, horticultural, forestry, food and other machinery and equipment on the EU market, including CE marking.

Placing on the market of agricultural machinery and equipment - our offer:

consulting and advising at the design stage on the safety requirements for the products being developed,
development of guidelines in terms of product compliance with the requirements of new approach directives and standards and related documents in relation to safety in use,
performing measurements on a 3D model (for safety requirements and approvals),
verification of products and documentation prior to implementation or certification,
preparation of documentation for assessing the conformity of products to the requirements of EU directives, including analysis of risks for the user, for the purpose of issuing the EC declaration of conformity,
preparation of operating instructions for machinery/equipment,
laboratory tests on machinery and equipment,
conducting research into the safety and ergonomics of use in terms of the requirements of directives, standards and legislation, including accredited research prior to placing on the market and use of agricultural machinery and equipment,
development of technical expertise for agricultural, horticultural, forestry, food and other machinery/equipment,
product verification for compliance with the requirements of the indicated directives/regulations/standards (e.g. EN ISO 12100,
Ordinance on technical conditions and the scope of the necessary equipment), assessment of machine/device labelling,
assessment of operating instructions for machinery/equipment,
training in the application of European Union directives, safety regulations and standards, preparation of operating instructions according to harmonised standards, elimination and reduction of mechanical risks at the design stage, among others,
