This machine is a pressure unit as can be seen in the CE declaration of conformity and
Data plate. The equipment supplied conforms to the Essential Safety Requirements
according to Annexure I of Directive 97/23/CE (PED). Any work involving repairs,
modifications, and/or changing pressurised components or parts make safe use of the

machine in case of sale or other transfer.
Any repair, modification, or changing of components not formally agreed with and authorised
by the manufacturer poses a risk of the conformity to Directive 97/23/CE being nullified and
makes this pressure equipment a significant risk. If not authorised in writing the Manufacturer
considers the tasks indicated above to be tampering with the machine, which nullifies the initial
declaration of conformity issued, and so they do not accept any direct responsibility.
Braze welding of parts that contribute to the pressure strength of the equipment and the parts
directed attached to it was done by adequately qualified personnel, using adequate operating
methods. Approval of the operating methods and personnel was entrusted to a competent
outside party for category II pressure equipment, and any work on this equipment that involves
the need to carry out braze welding must comply with the requirements laid down in ann. 1 of
Directive 97/23/CE, or the Manufacturer must be contacted for the relevant information.
− The pressure equipment has been inspected and tested, complete with the safety
accessories identified by the manufacturer as being of a direct discharge type with
calibrated air pressure. Testing and inspection of the accessories is not necessary prior
to starting up.
− The pressure equipment must be subjected to routine inspections and checks when
operating, according to the relevant regulations and legal norms.
For the unit in question, it is hereby declared that a competent Authorised Body carried out
