As prescribed by the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC our hooks, master links and connecting links are
supplied with a CE Declaration of Incorporation (CE IIB), stating the products are in compliance with the
requirements of the machinery directive. These products do not have a CE marking, since CE markings
are only to be provided for machines, whereas hooks, master links and connecting links are components
of machines, and not machines themselves. Providing components with a CE marking is an incorrect
interpretation of the Machinery Directive.

Machinery definition according to Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC – Article 2 – definitions (a) and
Machinery Regulation 2023/1230/EU:

“An assembly of linked parts or components, at least one of which moves and which are joined together,
intended for lifting loads and whose only power source is directly applied human effort.”

“The maximum working load shall be prominently marked on the lifting machinery. The marking shall be
legible, indelible and in an un-coded form. Where the maximum working load depends on the configuration
of the lifting machinery, each operating position shall be provided with a load plate indicating, preferably in
diagrammatic form or by means of tables, the working load permitted for each configuration.”
