means a device which, after the putting into service of machinery or of a tractor, is assembled with that machinery or tractor by the operator himself in order to change its function or attribute a new function, in so far as this equipment is not a tool;

means internal market emergency mode as defined in Article 3, point (3), of Regulation (EU) 2024/2747.

shall mean a lifting appliance serving specific levels, having a carrier moving along guides which are rigid and inclined at an angle of more than 15 degrees to the horizontal, intended for the transport of: Lifting appliances moving along a fixed course even where they do not move along guides which are rigid shall be considered as lifts falling within the scope of this Directive.

means a component or equipment not attached to the lifting machinery, allowing the load to be held, which is placed between the machinery and the load or on the load itself, or which is intended to constitute an integral part of the load and which is independently placed on the market;

means a movement of unit loads consisting of goods and/or persons necessitating, at a given moment, a change of level.

means:

means machinery specifically intended for the application of plant protection products within the meaning of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market.

means

means any natural or legal person who designs and/or manufactures machinery or partly completed machinery covered by this Directive and is responsible for the conformity of the machinery or the partly completed machinery with this Directive with a view to its being placed on the market, under his own name or trademark or for his own use.

means the person or persons installing, operating, adjusting, maintaining, cleaning, repairing or moving machinery;

means an assembly which is almost machinery but which cannot in itself perform a specific application.

means making available for the first time in the Community machinery or partly completed machinery with a view to distribution or use, whether for reward or free of charge;

means a device (other than a guard) which reduces the risk, either alone or in conjunction with a guard;

means the first use, for its intended purpose, in the Community, of machinery covered by this Directive;

means a combination of the probability and the degree of an injury or damage to health that can arise in a hazardous situation;

means a component: An indicative list of safety components is set out in Annex V;

means the test during which lifting machinery or a lifting accessory is first inspected and subjected to a force corresponding to the maximum working load multiplied by the appropriate static test coefficient and then re-inspected once the said load has been released to ensure that no damage has occurred.

means the arithmetic ratio between the load used to carry out the static or dynamic tests on lifting machinery or a lifting accessory and the maximum working load marked on the lifting machinery or lifting accessory.

means the arithmetic ratio between the load guaranteed by the manufacturer or his authorised representative up to which a component is able to hold it and the maximum working load marked on the component.
