Machinery safety course for our engineers

This month, our engineers successfully participated in a Machine Safety course. Every machine that is put on the market or used in the EU has to meet the requirements of the Machinery Directive. The engineers of Althen and Metesco were informed about the requirements machines have to meet. At the end of this intensive course, they had insight into the most important requirements from the European directives that apply to machines or production lines. They also became further familiar with the consequences, content and coherence between the various CE Marking directives regarding machines, work equipment, and for example ATEX related requirements.
