What are the « recommendation for use »

The definition is given in RFU 0.100 status of  RFU

The Recommendation for Use sheets (RfUs) are elaborated either by the Vertical Groups (VGs) or by the Horizontal Committe (HC) of the European Co-ordination of Notified Bodies under Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. In both cases the RfUs are approved by the HC and sent to the European Commission to be “endorsed” by the Machinery Working Group (MWG); when they are “endorsed” the RfUs are published on the Europa Website .The Machinery Working Group gathers together representatives from the European Commission, the Member States, the CEN/Cenelec (European organisations for standardisation), the Industry (Orgalime), the Notified Bodies, the users, etc. Consequently the RfUs are useful for all the stakeholders involved in the implementation of the Machinery Directive.

The initial and first objective of these RfU (when standardization was not so complete as it is now) was to help Notified bodies in their certification process of conformity of machines and to harmonize the practices of notified bodies that were doing the same kind of product certification.

If an accident happens, a judge will probably look for all the documents linked with the device on which the accident happened.

To illustrate, the RfUs process, RfUs CNB/M/11.045 and CNB/M11.052 have been approved  :

  • during the meeting of notified bodies that compose the VG11 the 17/10/2011
  • during the meeting  (Committe horizontal (HC)) of notified bodies that take place in Brussels the 13.12.2011 and then sent to the european commision in order to be 
  • "endorsed" by the Machinery Working Group (MWG) on 04/07/2012, and then the RfUs have been published.
