Frequently asked questions
Does RD 1215 apply to machinery already installed?
Yes. RD 1215 regulates the use of work equipment and is especially relevant for machinery in service that must be kept in safe condition.
What is the difference between RD 1215 and CE marking?
CE marking focuses on placing new machinery on the market. RD 1215 addresses making equipment available and using it safely in the workplace, including existing lines.
Can you bring a full line into compliance?
Yes. We work machine by machine or by line, with a prioritised plan so interventions disrupt production as little as necessary.
