EU Declarations
The load units, controllers, and optional equipment are supplied with Product Information manuals that allow
them to be assembled and integrated to work as assemblies of machinery.
The customer must evaluate risks due to ejected parts or materials from the test specimens. If the test area
enclosure option is not selected by the customer, then for protection against ejected parts or materials from
test specimens and to control access to the machinery, the customer must provide a test area enclosure.
EC Declaration of Conformity (Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC Annex II 1A)
The load units are used for testing materials and components and can perform tension, compression, fatigue
and fracture mechanics tests. The testing materials and components (test specimens) are supplied by
customers or end users.
A combination of one each of an MTS load unit AND one each of an MTS Controller constitute machinery
that can be used for specific application(s) as given in this load unit Product Information manual. If the load

Optional equipment such as hydraulic service manifolds, a hydraulic power unit, grips, fixtures, extensometers,
furnaces, ovens and environmental chambers, and so forth can be used with the machinery. MTS will supply
Product Information manuals for optional equipment that allow such equipment to be assembled correctly
