Market surveillance plays a crucial role in ensuring that regulated safety and environmental protection objectives are achieved and in preventing unfair competition resulting from the placing on the market of non-compliant products.
A joint initiative by various sectors of the mechanical engineering industry, including FEM, is establishing a database of technical guides on machine compliance for surveillance authorities and market operators (importers, distributors, users).
Industrial truck compliance guides
The FEM Industrial Trucks and Mobile Elevating Work Platforms sections have produced thematic guides to distinguish between compliant and non-compliant machines based on the description of certain essential criteria that can be verified even without in-depth and specific technical knowledge.
