CE Marking of Skid Frame as per Machinery Directive

CE Marking of Skid Frame as per Machinery Directive

CE Marking of Skid Frame as per Machinery Directive

(OP)
We are building a chemical dosing unit which is to be mounted on a skid frame and is to be used offshore.
We have been asked to supply a CE declaration of conformity to cover the lifting assembly.
In the past this would just include the lifting beam and shacles etc.
However our client has stated that the skid frame itself should also be considered as part of the assembly.
Has anybody else come across this ?
Would a skid frame be considered uder the machinery directive ?

Any help would be great

RE: CE Marking of Skid Frame as per Machinery Directive

The European Machine Directive is not applicable for "seagoing vessels and mobile offshore units and machinery
installed on board such vessels and/or units". Does this help?

micalbrch,
Thanks for the reply.
Our client has insisted on CE marked equipment.
I think its to cover the lifting at the dockside (i.e. before its on the ship).
