1.2 EC CERTIFICATION

The EEC Directive 89/392 and subsequent amendments,
more commonly known as the "Machines Directive", lays
down the conditions under which a machine can be put on
the market.
The above directive prescribes that machines can be
sold and used only if they do not endanger the safety and
health of people, pets and property.
To certify compliance of a vehicle lift with the provisions
of the directive, prior to sale the manufacturer must have
a sample tested for EC certifi cation by an authorised
institute.
The MINIBENCH MAXIPLUS, built in compliance with
the provisions contained in the EEC directive 89/392, has
passed the certifi cation test and the authorised agency has
therefore issued the EC certifi cation.
The MINIBENCH MAXIPLUS is therefore provided with:
• CE Mark
• EC declaration of conformity
• Instruction manual
