Type plates, rating plates
Type plates and rating plates identify, classify and describe your products.
The purpose of the type plate – also called the rating plate – is to identify an item, often according to statutory provisions or other standards.
For example, the European machinery directive 2006/42/EC, which regulates the marketing of machines in the EU and contains the essential safety and health requirements, also specifies how a machine is to be marked. The following information must be visible, clearly legible and permanently attached to every machine:
- Company name and full address of the manufacturer, including its authorized representatives, if applicable
- Name of the machine
- CE mark
- Model range or type name
- Serial number, if applicable
- Year of manufacture, i.e. the year in which the manufacturing process was completed
Depending on the area of use, there is a wide range of requirements on the resistance of type plates to environmental conditions. Don't hesitate to ask us, we have the right solution.
