Information for the machine manufacturers
2.1 Introduction
The echolink one module does not constitute a machine as defined by the EU "Machinery“
Directive. Consequently, the module does not have a Declaration of Conformity in relation to the
EU Machinery Directive.
2.2 EU Machinery Directive
The EU Machinery Directive stipulates the requirements applicable to a machine. The term
"machine" is taken to mean a totality of connected parts or fixtures (see also EN 292-1, Para-
graph 3.1)
The module is a part of the electrical equipment of the machine and must thus be included by the
machine manufacturer in the Declaration of Conformity process.
