Overlap between Assembly of Machinery in Machine Directive and Fixed Installation in EMC Directive?

[CharlieUK]

LVD is applicable to "electrical equipment" and for electrical Machinery it is covered by Annex I clause 1.5.1 which calls up the LVD, but states that the LVD is no listed on the DoC, as the MD is applicable

Yes, so having documentation on that the Essential Requirements of the LVD has been fulfilled (as per Annex I clause 1.5.1 of the MD) would still be required for compliance with the MD?

Also, even if being a Fixed Installation according to the EMCD, the manufacturer of this Fixed Installation would still need to provide documentation that Good Engineering Practice has been followed during the installation of the sub-parts of the product, even if the product itself doesn't need to be EMC tested or go through a conformity assessment process?

Yes to 1st question.

The Directive requires that this is compiled - but in reality there would only be market enforcement in the event that interference was being caused, and that would still need to fixed even if GEP has been followed

Ok, this makes sense to me now! Thank you for the replies!
