ECM continues its commitment to supporting manufacturers of garden equipment, placing a strong emphasis on the safety and technical compliance of hedge trimmers. In an increasingly demanding market, ensuring that these tools meet the requirements of the Machinery Directive and the EMC Directive is essential to protect operators and guarantee the free movement of products within the European market.

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC): EFFICIENCY AND SAFETY

Modern hedge trimmers, whether battery-powered or corded, integrate sophisticated electronic components. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing is vital to verify that the equipment does not generate electromagnetic interference that could affect other devices and, simultaneously, remains immune to external interference. Ente Certificazione Macchine is a Testing Laboratory (no. 121697) accredited by Perry Johnson Laboratory Accreditation Inc. (PJLA) according to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard. At our laboratory, specialized technicians perform precise measurements to ensure that every electronic component operates stably, preventing malfunctions that could compromise user safety during operation.

VIBRATION TESTING: HEALTH PROTECTION

Prolonged exposure to mechanical vibrations represents one of the primary risks for regular hedge trimmer users. ECM performs rigorous tests on vibrations transmitted to the hand-arm system, in compliance with harmonized standards. Using advanced sensors, we measure the acceleration levels generated by the blades and the motor. These tests allow manufacturers to certify the levels declared in the user manual, helping to prevent occupational diseases and improving the overall ergonomics of the tool.

ECM: YOUR PARTNER FOR CE MARKING

Ente Certificazione Macchine offers a comprehensive suite of testing and conformity assessment services. From electromagnetic compatibility verification to vibration measurement, every stage of the certification process is managed with maximum transparency. Thanks to our technical support, companies can bring to market hedge trimmers that are safe, competitive, and fully compliant with current legal requirements, ensuring reliability for their end customers.
