Within the European regulations related to machinery (Directive 2006/42/EC), there is also reference to partial machines. Although the partial machine WILL NOT PHYSICALLY CARRY the CE Marking, it must also comply with Directive 2006/42/EC, and will have its specific requirements.Considering that a partial machine is a set that constitutes almost a machine, but cannot perform a specific application on its own, Directive 2006/42/EC considers that it must also meet its particular requirements.A drive system is a partial machine, for example. The partial machine is intended solely to be incorporated into, or assembled with, other machines, or other partial machines or equipment, to form a machine to which the Directive will apply.Just like machines, there may be other legislation that applies to it (EMC, RoHS, Low Voltage, etc.).
