Technical Manuals for Industrial Machinery

Manuals for industrial equipment are often subject to different requirements than those for consumer products. Given the nature and structure of industrial machinery, these manuals include extensive safety information. Moreover, technical manuals for industrial equipment are often written in simplified technical English or STE.

EU Translation Guidelines for Instructions

For their Dutch technical manual translation services, BlacKKite follows the directives of the European Parliament and European Union.

For many product categories, the EU has legal language requirements for items such as technical instructions, manufacturers' declarations, and user instructions. For high-risk products, such as industrial machines, the minimum requirement for user instructions translation is usually the language or languages of the EU member state where the product is marketed.

Ensuring EU Compliance

Providing a technical manual that complies with the EU directives prevents claims for damages and helps relieve pressure on your customer support team.

Where no Original instructions exist in the official language(s) of the country where the machinery is to be used, a translation into that/those language(s) must be provided by the manufacturer or his authorized representative or by the person bringing the machinery into the language area in question.

Directive on Machinery 2006/42/eg, Annex I, Section 1.7.4. 'Instructions'
