5. Industry situation • Market is global • Increased competition • Reduction of product development costs and time • Introduction of new machines more frequent (shorter product life cycle) • Technique to comply with legislation is getting more complex and costly • Implementation of new and more stringent safety legislation at shorter intervals Teknikföretagen Jan Mimer Volvo CE EU:s direktiv o standarder year month date

6. CECE Machine Industry • Machines are low volume compared to cars and trucks • Machines are sold globally, with the major manufacturers located in Asia, Europe and US • These facts create a need for global harmonization/ standards/legislation to avoid producing different machine models for different markets. Teknikföretagen Jan Mimer Volvo CE EU:s direktiv o standarder year month date

7. Vibrations directive – a bad example of legislation • Complicated to make measurements of vibrations with comparable and representative results causing different interpretation of legal requirements in MS, depending on unclear legislation. • Lack of standardized ways of making measurements • Must be based on scientific knowledge and cost-benefit aspects • Gives very little guidance for manufacturers Teknikföretagen Jan Mimer Volvo CE EU:s direktiv o standarder year month date

8. Consequences of lack of harmonization and bad legislation: • Unpredictable legal situation • No value added costs to safety • Administrative burden • Tests has to be officially repeated • Time consuming • Resource demanding activities which drains product development org • Delay introduction of new and improved products and features Teknikföretagen Jan Mimer Volvo CE EU:s direktiv o standarder year month date

9. CECE Technical Commission Duties • Harmonization of national regulations to remove technical barriers to trade, improve safety standards and the environmental aspects of construction machinery • Promotion of international standards and safety regulations in co-operation with ISO and CEN • Development of test procedures and nomenclatures • Product liability issues • Promotion of R & D projects Teknikföretagen Jan Mimer Volvo CE EU:s direktiv o standarder year month date

10. CECE Technical Commission • About 20 members • Meetings four times a year or when needed • Project Groups dealing with specific areas e.g machinery directive, road harmonisation, exhaust emission, vibrations, noise. • Technical secretary Teknikföretagen Jan Mimer Volvo CE EU:s direktiv o standarder year month date

11. Why? • Possibilities to • Influence legislations and standards • Early information about legal requirements Teknikföretagen Jan Mimer Volvo CE EU:s direktiv o standarder year month date

12. Road regulations in EU • Not harmonised area within the European Community • Different requirements between Member States • Certification requirements in e.g. Germany, Sweden, Italy and Austria • Requirements on testing and documentation (e.g. Musterbericht and Verbale) Teknikföretagen Jan Mimer Volvo CE EU:s direktiv o standarder year month date

13. Developing a standard for Off Road Teknikföretagen Jan Mimer Volvo CE EU:s direktiv o standarder year month date

14. Comparing National legislation Teknikföretagen Jan Mimer Volvo CE EU:s direktiv o standarder year month date

15. Countries to be compared Teknikföretagen Jan Mimer Volvo CE EU:s direktiv o standarder year month date

16. CECE Activities Teknikföretagen Jan Mimer Volvo CE EU:s direktiv o standarder year month date

17. Volvo CE participation in standardisation • CEN/TC151WG 1 Construction Equipment - Safety • SIS Secretariat • ISO / TC 127 Earth Moving Machinery • SIS TK 225 • In general a very high level of standardization in regard to our need Teknikföretagen Jan Mimer Volvo CE EU:s direktiv o standarder year month date

18. Standards from legal point of view • European Norms (EN) mandated by the Commission of the European Community • European Norms are voluntary • Compliance gives ”Presumption of Conformity” to the directive and in Product Liability • Standards describing "State of the Art" • Only ISO is considered as International Standard • Product Liability Teknikföretagen Jan Mimer Volvo CE EU:s direktiv o standarder year month date

19. Benefit of participation in standardization • Information on new legislation and standards at an early stage • Influence on legal requirements • Improved awareness about product safety • Simplifies interpretation of legal requirements • Competition on equal level • Cost saving through not inventing the wheel again • Reducing liability risk • Presumption of conformity with legal requirements • Free circulation of goods • Access to international markets Teknikföretagen Jan Mimer Volvo CE EU:s direktiv o standarder year month date

20. Conformity assessment procedures • Manufacturers Declaration (EU Machinery directive) • Internal control of production with assessment of technical documentation and periodical checking (EU Noise) • Type approval of machines (DE road approval) • Single approval of machines (DE and SE road approval) • Type approval exhaust emission (EU) • Internal testing and control of production with assessment of technical documentation and periodical checking (US) • Application for certification, evaluation of documentation, testing of machines and certification (e.g. China) Teknikföretagen Jan Mimer Volvo CE EU:s direktiv o standarder year month date

21. Industry need on Product related Safety Legislation/Standard (cont) • Lead time for implementation of legislation • One standard world vide • One test globally accepted • One product accepted globally • After market surveillance Teknikföretagen Jan Mimer Volvo CE EU:s direktiv o standarder year month date
