My master craftsman project: test station for filling valves

The station tests filling valves for leaks, opening behaviour and flow. Mechanical design, control panel, S7-1500 program and CE documentation are all my own work.

Frequently asked questions

Does this also apply to old machines?

Not retroactively. Machines placed on the market under the Machinery Directive before 20 January 2027 may continue to be made available and operated. For operation in Austria, the Employee Protection Act (ASchG) and the Work Equipment Ordinance (AM-VO) continue to apply. If such a machine is substantially modified afterwards, the manufacturer obligations of the new regulation apply to it.

When does a modification become a substantial modification?

What matters is whether the modification creates a new hazard or increases a risk. It is a substantial modification if this makes new protective devices necessary that require a change to the safety control system. The same applies to additional measures for stability or mechanical strength. A further condition is that the manufacturer had not foreseen the change.

In detail: spotting a substantial modification

What does the check cost?

From €890 net per machine plus VAT, for half a day on site and the report. If your machine needs more time, I tell you before any extra work is done. If an order follows, the check is credited.

Planning a modification? Check first, then modify.

In a 15-minute call we clarify whether a check makes sense for your machine.
