The ENAMA
/ ENTAM
certification
The European Community has given itself particularly strict laws regarding
safety in agriculture and lawn care.
The european legislation first of all provides that it is the manufacturer
himself that certifies that his product is in conformance with the laws set
by the community. The CE stamp applied on the machinery signifies the product
is in conformity, according to the manufacturer, to the european laws.
Many of the countries belonging to the European Community however, already
had setup years before this new legislation, national independent institues
which could release official certificates that testified that the machinery
was in accordance to the national law. Europe, after having grouped the various
national legislations, created a european institute called ENTAM with the
task to coordinate various national institutes in applying the laws set forth
by the European Community.
ENTAM is the european correspondent of the various national institutes: ENAMA
(Italy), CEMAGREF (France), DLG (Germany) etc.
It is fairly clear therefore that a certification released by an independent
national institute with the objective to determine the safety and functionnality
of a machine will always be better and more accurate than a certification
released from the manufacturer himself.
The results of the tests made by these institutes are published and extended
in appropriate test reports containing all information about the farm machinery
tested providing a genuine identity card which will accompany the machinery
throughout its life. A copy of each of these test reports is included on
all certified Rotomec machines. All machines certified by ENAMA also carry
the certification logo on them. The data provided in these reports includes
information such as:
-
The machinery's
technical characteristics.
-
The performance
of the machinery under working conditions.
-
Instructions
for correct road circulation.
-
Conformity to
current safety standards.
The latter aspect
is particularly important because a machine which meets safety requirements
constitutes the basic condition for satisfying the provisions of D.P.R. 459/96
which covers the Machinery Directive, DLgs 359/99 and DLgs 626/94 controlling
farm safety and all other current provisions.
By purchasing
a certified product the owner has:
-
the assurance
and protection that he is buying a product that meets requirements either
for personal use or for use by his employees.
-
the option to
choose the machinery suitable for his needs by consulting and comparing the
performance profile results elaborated by ENAMA.
