Hazard Analysis (GFA, Gefahrenanalyse), EU Machines and Directives for Printing

A successful position in the Single European Market, but also worldwide ventures, require adherence to the state-of-the-art in terms of European directives and provisions.

The two outstanding directives:

EU directive for machines (directive 89/392/EWG)
and EU directive for printing equipment (directive 97/23/EG)


and the downstream EN norms also demand of the manufacturers a hazard analysis (GFA) and safety/risk examinations respectively for machines and printing equipment, that fall in the corresponding category.

In addition the CE label also needs a hazard analysis (GFA).

So all the affected ventures are in charge of keeping themselves well informed about content, complexity, methods, information value and use of the hazard analysis (GFA). Appropriate business processes have to be configured

The seminar provides you with the basics and assistance.
