This Substantial Modifications class provides maintenance and repair technicians and system integrators with an in-depth understanding of when adding machinery to an assembly of machinery, modifications of existing CE or non-CE marked machinery, or the alteration of machinery and control systems should be regarded and assessed.

During the course, you will learn how to determine if an integration, addition or modification will represent a substantial modification with the consequent issue of a new CE marking.

This course explores the implications of replacing safety-related machinery parts, control systems, modifications in safety-related architectures, and adding or removing machinery or elements within a machinery installation. You will navigate through the entire assessment and analysis process and by the end of the course gain a solid understanding of what is possible, the conditions related to it and the compliance requirements.
