Machine Data Plate

Example of a Machine Data Plate

NOTE

The machine data plate that is installed on the machine varies depending on the type, specification, and territory in which the machine is operated.

The machine data plate contains the serial number (product identification number) for each individual machine, and is required when:

  • Contacting Epiroc for support

  • Ordering components or kits

  • Creating records

  • Maintaining records

The machine data plate indicates if the machine is CE certified or EAC certified. If no CE or EAC mark is present on the machine data plate, the machine is not CE or EAC certified.

NOTE

The letters CE is an abbreviation for Conformité Européenne which means in conformity with the EC directives. The existence of a CE mark on a product means that the manufacturer or importer certifies that it complies with the European Union (EU) health, environmental, and safety requirements. The CE mark is also a trademark, which means that a CE-marked product can be sold freely within the EU.

NOTE

The letters EAC is an abbreviation for Eurasian Conformity, which means in conformity with the technical regulations of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). The existence of an EAC mark on a product, means that the manufacturer or importer certifies that it complies with the EAEU requirements of the corresponding technical regulations. Furthermore it means that the product has passed all conformity assessment procedures.
