CE marking and declaration of conformity
(Only applies to machines marketed within the EU/EEA.)
This machine is CE-marked. This means that, when delivered, the machine meets the applicable "Essential Health and Safety
Requirements", which are given in the EU Machine Safety Directive. If changes are made that affect the safety of the
machine, the person making the changes is responsible for the same.
As proof that the requirements are met, the machine is supplied with an EU Declaration of Conformity, issued by Volvo
Construction Equipment for each individual machine. This EU declaration also covers attachments manufactured by Volvo
Construction Equipment. The documentation is a valuable document, which should be kept safe and retained for at least 10
years. The document should always accompany the machine when it is sold.
If the machine is used for other purposes or with other attachments than described in this manual, safety must be
maintained at all times and in each individual case. The person carrying out such action is also responsible for the action
which, in some cases, may require a new CE marking and the issue of a new EU Declaration of Conformity.
EU EMC Directive
The electronic equipment of the machine may in some cases cause interference with other electronic equipment, or the
equipment may be adversely affected by external electromagnetic interference, which may constitute safety risks.
The EU EMC directive on "Electromagnetic conformity" provides a general description of what demands can be made on the
machine from a safety perspective, where permitted limits have been determined and given according to international
standards.
A machine or device which meets the requirements should be CE-marked. Our machines have been specifically tested for
electromagnetic interference. The CE marking of the machine and the declaration of conformity also cover the EMC directive.
If other electronic equipment is fitted to this machine, the equipment must be CE-marked and tested on the machine with
regard to electromagnetic interference.
Unauthorized modifications of the Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS)
Never make any unauthorized modifications to the ROPS, such as lowering the height of the roof, drilling, welding on fire
extinguisher brackets, radio aerial brackets or other equipment.
Such unauthorized modifications will affect the structural strength of the ROPS cab and will void the certification.
The Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) has been approved following testing and meets standards according to ISO 3471:
1994 and SAE 1040 MAY 94.
The cab has also been tested and approved according to FOPS standard as defined by ISO 3449: 1997 and ISO 6055: 1997.
All planned modifications must be reviewed in advance by our Engineering Department in order to determine whether the
alteration can be made without affecting the certification.
It is important that all persons in your organisation, including management, are made fully aware of these rules involving
ROPS.
If anyone in your company discovers that a certain machine was modified in a non-approved manner, your company
must notify the customer and manufacturer if writing regarding which machine it was and how it was modified.
NOTE!
Modifications or removal of material which affects sound, i.e. noise-insulating material, noise-damping or noise-absorbing
material may not be performed. Further, making new holes/openings in the cab or engine compartment is not allowed as
this may increase the sound level in the cab.
