An international provider of equipment test, certification and validation services has announced that it is contributing its expertise to the definition of a major revision of a pan-European document that will provide guidance on the complex issue of CE marking of equipment for military applications.
The new, definitive Guide to CE Marking Military Equipment is at an advanced stage of preparation and a draft will be available in time for Defense Equipment and Support’s DVD 2010 event June 23–24 at Millbrook, Bedfordshire, UK. The guide ideally will provide equipment makers, test houses, and the procurement bodies that buy the systems, a better understanding of how the EMC Directive, the Low Voltage Directive and the Machinery Safety Directive (to mention just a few of the many directives) apply and adapt in a military context.
