All GreenBay brand products are certified in accordance with current European Union standards.
Products that fall under these standards are marked with the CE label, after having undergone tests to ensure compliance.
The CE marking is mandatory for all equipment with a drive system other than direct human or animal power, with at least one moving part capable of performing work.
Other products may also fall under this marking, such as protective masks.
This marking ensures that if checks are required for a particular product, they have been successfully carried out.
Behind the CE marking there are numerous regulations: for each applicable standard, if a test is required, the product must comply.
Here are some of the most common directives used by the GreenBay brand:
- Directive 2006/42/EC — Known as the Machinery Directive, it is the most important regulation in the mechanical field. Essentially, any machine must comply with this directive.
- Directive 2014/35/EU — The Low Voltage Directive. It applies to all electrical equipment between 50 and 1000 V AC and between 75 and 1500 V DC.
- Directive 2014/30/EU — The Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive. It ensures that equipment meets an adequate level of electromagnetic compatibility.
- Directive 2000/14/EC — Establishes noise limits for machinery and control criteria for such equipment.
- Regulation 2014/35/EC — Concerns materials and objects intended to come into contact with food products, ensuring that materials used are safe for food preparation.
- Regulation 2016/426/EU — Relates to appliances burning gaseous fuels, such as barbecues and gas ovens.
These are just some of the standards, but GreenBay applies many others to ensure your safety.
WEEE - Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
This symbol, called WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment), indicates that the product, at the end of its life, must not be disposed of with unsorted household waste, but taken to dedicated collection centers.
These products contain metals that can be hazardous to the environment if discarded improperly and economically valuable if recycled. Therefore, by following the regulations and guidelines of your municipality, you can take them to the appropriate collection centers free of charge.
This also applies to batteries — lithium, lead, alkaline, etc. If you are unsure how to proceed, you can contact GreenBay for any information you may need.
