Compliance
A machine you can’t legally commission is scrap in a crate.
Specified against the standard that applies where the machine lands, and agreed with you before the order is placed.
Low-cost suppliers ship equipment with a generic CE mark and nothing behind it. CE is a European conformity mark — it carries no weight with an Australian WHS inspector or an Indonesian riksa uji examiner. When someone asks for the risk assessment, the guarding schedule or the conformity documentation for the standard that actually applies, it doesn’t exist, and the line sits idle while you pay someone locally to reconstruct it.
What your engineering manager and safety inspector need depends on the machine, where it's going, and how it will be installed and used. That gets confirmed during specification rather than issued from a single fixed pack.
The documentation supplied is confirmed during specification and depends on the selected machine, destination market, installation/use and customer requirements.
| Market | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Australia & New Zealand | WHS Act duties, AS 4024 guarding |
| Singapore | WSH Act Fifth Schedule |
| Malaysia | DOSH / OSHA requirements |
| Indonesia | riksa uji inspection, Permenaker 38/2016 |
Frameworks outside Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia — including EU and UK schemes such as CE, UKCA, ATEX or IECEx — are referenced only where they're genuinely applicable to a specific project and destination, not assumed by default.
Documentation categories
Examples of documentation that come up during specification. Which apply, and in what form, depends on the machine, the destination market, the installation and how the machine will be used.
- Conformity documentation
- Declares the machine against the standard that applies in the destination market, agreed during specification.
- Electrical schematics
- Drawings your maintenance team and any local inspector can work from.
- Guarding and interlock schedule
- Guards, interlocks and stops relevant to the machine's configuration, listed against the applicable guarding standard.
- Risk assessment
- Where a risk assessment forms part of the project, the hazards assessed and the measures taken against each.
- Operator manual in English
- Written for the people running the line, not translated from a datasheet.
- Maintenance manual in English
- Service intervals, wear parts and procedures.
- Testing and acceptance records
- Records from factory testing or acceptance checks, scoped and agreed for the project.
- Component certificates
- Certificates for bought-in components, where the applicable standard requires them.
Assessing your product without shipping it to us
What we ask for during specification
- Product or material characteristics
- Dimensions, or particle and piece information
- Photographs and video
- Packaging information
- Required operating conditions
- Layouts or integration information, where relevant
Factory acceptance testing
FAT is discussed as part of specification: what's tested, how, and what's recorded is scoped to the project rather than fixed in advance.
If physical assessment is needed, Libratus will advise on the appropriate route during specification.
What gets agreed, and when
Operational documentation
Commonly needed to install, operate and maintain the machine — manuals, schematics and similar working documents.
Conformity documentation
Specific to the destination market and applicable regulatory framework, confirmed for the project rather than issued as a default.
Testing and acceptance records
Scoped to the machine and the project, and agreed as part of specification rather than promised upfront.
The documentation supplied is confirmed during specification and depends on the selected machine, destination market, installation/use and customer requirements.
