Relationship between this European Standard and the requirements of EU
Directive 2006/42/EC aimed to be covered
This European Standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardization request
“M/396 Mandate to CEN and CENELEC for Standardisation in the field of machinery” to provide one
voluntary means of conforming to essential requirements of Directive 2006/42/EC of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2006 on machinery, and amending Directive 95/16/EC
(recast).
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive,
compliance with the normative clauses of this standard given in Table ZA.1 confers, within the limits of
the scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding Essential Requirements
of that Directive, and associated EFTA regulations.

on airborne noise emissions conformity regarding the
determination of the A-
weighted sound power level
WARNING 1 — Presumption of conformity stays valid only as long as a reference to this European
Standard is maintained in the list published in the Official Journal of the European Union. Users of this
standard should consult frequently the latest list published in the Official Journal of the European
Union.
WARNING 2 — Other Union legislation may be applicable to the product(s) falling within the scope of
this standard.
