In these cases all relevant doors should be fitted with child safety latches. Alternatively, manufacturers should use our specially-designed 155° wide angle safety hinge 7xx7xx0. Manufacturers must ensure that the end user is aware of this. Blum drawer systems are designed for domestic and contract use. If the drawer or pull-out is used to carry potentially dangerous items (e.g. sharp knives, domes- tic electrical appliances with sharp edges), then it is recommended that they are fitted with pull-out stops or pull-out locks and child safety latches. This is es- pecially important when contents may pose a risk of injury (e.g. electrical appliances such as bread slicing machines, knives or other items with sharp edges). Blum assembly devices and machines are designed, constructed and tested according to the latest inter- national safety standards. Extra attention is also paid to operator safety in this regard. A comprehensive operations manual is supplied with each device and incorporates extensive instructions on installation and use. It is absolutely necessary that all operators read and adhere to the instructions therein. Under no cir- cumstances should changes be made to any safety feature. SERVO-DRIVE drives for supporting the opening/clos- ing of doors, wall cabinets and pull-outs are subject to the provisions of the European Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. With reference to §64, fourth indent, sec- ond point of the Guide to application of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC (Edition 2.2 of October 2019) and the interpretation of EFIC (European Furniture Indus- tries Confederation), Blum SERVO-DRIVE drives are complete machines if they are used according to Blum specifications. All the requirements of the machinery directive are therefore met by the Blum declaration of conformity. Additional labelling of the furniture is not required. If furniture deviates fromBlum specifications, conformity must be confirmed by the distributor of the furniture and a new type plate for the furniture must be attached.
