Safety and regulatory compliance
About this topic
This topic lists the compliance regulations and standards for the BenchCel Microplate Handler.
Note: Earlier models of the BenchCel Microplate Handler may not comply with all the standards listed in this topic.
Compliance information
The BenchCel Microplate Handler is considered partly completed machinery as defined by the Machinery Directive of the European Union. Therefore, the BenchCel Microplate Handler is provided with a Declaration of Incorporation and no CE marking. The BenchCel Microplate Handler is intended to be integrated into a conforming completed machine (workstation). A customer in the European Union (EU) that acquires a standalone BenchCel Microplate Handler is responsible for this integration and for CE marking the completed workstation. The BenchCel Microplate Handler is designed to comply with the standards listed in the table below.
Unless specifically requested by the customer, BenchCel Workstations provided by Agilent Technologies are configured to conform to the Machinery Directive and bear the CE marking. The Declaration of Conformity shipped with the BenchCel Workstation describes the specific configuration that has been evaluated for conformity. Any deviations from the specified configuration may invalidate the Declaration of Conformity. See the Declaration of Conformity for details.
An EU customer that requests Agilent Technologies to provide a nonconforming BenchCel Workstation must assume responsibility as the manufacturer for completing the workstation in conformity with the applicable directives, including the Machinery Directive. In the case of a nonconforming BenchCel Workstation, each component that Agilent Technologies supplies will carry a Declaration of Conformity or Declaration of Incorporation, as appropriate, to be used by the manufacturer to compile the technical construction file.
