Laidler Certification has received notification from UKAS that it is now an approved body for virtually all aspects of Annex 4 of the Machinery Directive.
Laidler Certification, the notified body subsidiary of Laidler Associates Consulting Service, received notification from UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service) that it now meets the required standard in respect of Annex 4 paragraphs 9, 10, 11, 15 and 16 of the Machinery Directive.
This extends the scope of Laidler Certification from paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 13, making it an approved body for virtually all aspects of Annex 4 of the Machinery Directive.
"This is excellent news", said Operations Manager Paul Laidler on receiving this notification.
"This is something we have worked hard for and it is down to the quality of the staff and facilities that we have received this status".
Laidler Certification are now one of only a handful of companies in the UK that have reached this notified body status.
Known simply as annex IV, this important section of the Machinery Directive refers to machines and equipment that is considered to be especially dangerous: devices that cut, compress and inject.
In other words, machinery that is capable of causing serious injury or death.
Under the Machinery Directive, Annex IV applies only to machinery that came onto the market after 1 January 1993 (the introduction date for the New Directives) and was enforceable from 1 January 1995.
Any applicable machinery that was operational before that date is not included.
Laidler Certification has Notified Body Status allocated by the European Commission and recognised by the DTI (number 0870).
Paul Laidler is the Operations Manager for this venture.
