Notes on UKCA Marking

Epson robot system (Manipulators and Controllers) is a device that will be incorporated into the end user manufacturing equipment, so it is a "partly completed machinery" which defined in subparagraph (1) of regulation 6 of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Pursuant to the regulation 8 of Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, Epson has declared that the Epson robot system conforms to the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, the Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations 2016, and the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2012 in the "Declaration of Incorporation of Partly Completed Machinery." (Please refer to the Declaration of Incorporation of Partly Completed Machinery included with the robot system for details.) Therefore, the Epson Manipulators do not bear the UKCA marking because the Epson robot system is a "partly completed machinery."
However, the Robot Controller RC700-E is considered as a "completed product." Epson has separately declared that RC700-E conforms to the Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations 2016 and the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2012, and RC700-E bears the UKCA marking as proof of conformity.
