MTS Landmark Tabletop - Manual (Page 30)

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
unit is supplied with an MTS Controller, the Declaration of Conformity is supplied with the machinery; an
example of the Declaration of Conformity is provided at the end of this manual.
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
with the load unit and controller. This will allow the completed system assembly of individual equipment to
be controlled as one final machinery.
Declaration of Incorporation (Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC Annex II 1B)
If the load unit is supplied by itself, MTS will only supply a Declaration of Incorporation with the product; an
example of the Declaration of Incorporation is provided at the end of this manual. Whenever a Declaration
of Incorporation is supplied, it is the responsibility of the customer to perform the Machinery Directive Conformity
Assessment procedures and ensure that the complete assembly of machinery sub-systems (load unit,
controller, and optional equipment such as hydraulic service manifolds, hydraulic power unit, grips, fixtures,
extensometers, furnaces, ovens and environmental chambers, and so forth) conforms to the requirements
of Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and other applicable EC Directives. This will require the customer to affix
the CE Marking on the system assembly and to complete the EC Declaration of Conformity before putting
the machinery into service.
