CE conformity for Circular knitting machine

For Circular knitting machine, the applicable CE scope is determined from intended use, energy sources, safety architecture and target market. The risk assessment, technical file, testing and conformity route must be verified against the actual model.

CE conformity for Circular knitting machine — Product-specific conformity guide
Main movementNeedle cylinder, straps, thread feeders and fabric rolling system
Access to the operatorRope transfer, needle replacement, fabric take-up and upper section control
Critical physical factorHigh cycle, spinning needle, fiber accumulation and noise
ConfigurationMachine size, number of systems, openness and method of rolling
Direct response to the scope

CE conformity for Circular knitting machine — Define the product boundary first

The machine diameter, system number, maximum period and fabric pull order determine the size of the dangerous movement. The lids around the cylinder should not only prevent the part from rolling out, but also protect the worker from access to the needle and clamp mechanism.

The large number of thread guides and positive feeder in the upper section can cause the operator to stretch to height. The fixed ladder, platform and grip point must support three-point contact during the thread passing task. While climbing over the machine is predictable, the placement of the forbidden tag alone does not reduce the risk of falling by design.

Needle breaking is possible, with the metal part spinning out or mixing into fabric. Vibration sensors, cover locks, and needle tracking are defined by the manufacturer as having safety-related functionality.

Product profile

Technical features that change the evaluation

The following data shows why even models with the same product name can change the path of conformity.

Risk architecture

The main dangers to be addressed in the file

The protective, control and verification approach shall be based on the actual product cycle.

01

Touch the needle cylinder

Approaching the needle and strap that rotates when the lid is open creates cutting, punching and dragging, and the lock and hold time is confirmed.

02

Broken needle throwing

Small pieces of metal that burst at high temperature can hit the transparent protector.

03

Don 't fall off the top

Access to the feeders via an inappropriate chair or machine body is at risk of falling.

04

Compression on the fabric roll

The drawing ladder and the growing fabric roll can catch the hand, clothing, or foot.

05

Fiber dust and overheating

The accumulated fiber can turn off the engine ventilation or plug in the power failure, providing steady and regular cleaning access.

06

Unexpected automatic start

When the wire sensor is re-established or power is restored, the machine must be prevented from automatically turning on.

The conditional law matrix

When will the regulation take effect?

A single product name doesn't give the same answer for all models.

The subjectThe situationProduct-based evaluation
The machine's layoutYES, YESIn Turkey, 2006/42/AT is applied for a round knitting; the next national conformity is confirmed on the date of the first market supply or first service of the knitting.
EMCIT 'S A MESS .EMC scope is assessed in terms of the intended environment; driver and communication patterns affect test requirements.
LVDNO , NOT AT ALL .The LVD is not applied to machinery as a separate directive; electrical safety objectives are met within the scope of machinery legislation.
PEDNO , NOT AT ALL .The standard knitting function has no pressure process; the facility airline interface can be defined separately.
ATEXIT 'S A MESS .If the fibre-powder property and the plant distribution indicate an explosive atmosphere, the intended use of the equipment shall be examined.
NoiseYES, YESThe emission of the high-speed machine is assessed in terms of reduction, measurement and reporting.

Standard and verification approach

  • EN ISO 11111-1: It gives us a common approach to safety in textile machinery.
  • EN ISO 11111-6: Provides applicable provisions on specific hazards of textile manufacturing machines, including imitation.
  • EN ISO 12100: It systematizes the risks of rope loading, manufacturing, needle replacement and cleaning.
  • EN ISO 14120: It is used to assess the structural and usage requirements of circuit boards.
  • EN ISO 14119: It supports the design of the cover locks against insertion and disabling.
  • EN ISO 13849-1 and -2: The opening of the lid, the safe positioning and the re-installation functions verify the reliability of the check.
  • EN 60204-1: In electrical equipment, the protection, control and test scope are applied according to the machine design.
Important distinction

CE conformity for Circular knitting machine — Product conformity is a separate study.

ISO management system certification does not replace product-specific risk analysis, test evidence and compliance file.

The compliance work plan

In what order will the technical preparation proceed?

Technical variant record

Print, cycle, needle system, feeder and fabric roll options are listed.

Task and access analysis

The rope transfer, needle change, upper maintenance and rolling movements are evaluated.

Protector and platform design

Panel strength, lock, stand time and access resolution at height are determined.

Test and measurement

Electrical, safety, noise, vibration and temperature data are recorded.

The last documentation

Instructions for needle replacement, fiber cleaning, rolling and maintenance are accompanied by a statement.

Product records to search for in the technical file

  • General and environmental drawings
  • Risk assessment
  • Access and platform dimensions
  • Electric control schemes
  • Verify the lock function
  • Protective impact resistance record
  • Noise and vibration measurements
  • The procedure for changing the needle-roll
  • Use-cleaning-maintenance instructions
  • In Turkey, 2006/42/AT requires an AT Statement of Conformity in the spinning file. For spinning, the EU/AEA includes 2006/42/EC on 19 hob 2027; the spinning record uses the AT/EC Statement of Conformity. This spinning unit is applied to the EU Statement of Conformity from 20 hob 2027 under (EU) 2023/1230.

They 're the entries for a healthy offer .

  • Machine size and maximum period
  • Number of system needles
  • The thread feed arrangement
  • The drawing and roll size
  • Protective-lock components
  • The electric control documentation
  • Date of first market offering or service with the current test

The size of the machine, the number of systems, rolling automation, the state of the protective design and measurement records change the scope of the offer.

Frequently Asked Questions

CE conformity for Circular knitting machine — Technical answers about

Can a transparent lid withstand every needle roll?

The type and thickness of the material is determined by the energy of the potential part and the design of the connection.

Can the machine slow down freely when the lid is opened?

A safe position must be made before the hazardous part is reached, and if the failure is prolonged, a solution such as a lock or brake may be required.

Is it acceptable to stand on the machine to tie the rope?

A secure stairway and platform must be provided for the predictable access mission.

Can you do a fiber cleanup in high pressure?

The manufacturer's method is not to disperse the dust into the electrical area or into the air, or throw the parts at the worker.

Is the cloth roll a separate machine?

The induction and control link, mechanical connection and supply form are studied.

Is the needle sensor the security component?

The sensor may not be a security function, but if it claims to stop dangerous movement, performance and faulty behavior are confirmed.
