1. The assembly instructions for partly completed machinery shall contain a description of the conditions, which are to be met to ensure that the partly completed machinery is correctly incorporated in the machinery or other partly completed machinery or equipment, and that the machinery or other partly completed machinery or equipment with the incorporated partly completed machinery does not compromise the health and safety of persons and, where appropriate, domestic animals and property, and, where applicable, of the environment.

2. The assembly instructions shall contain relevant information to be used in the instructions of the machinery or other partly completed machinery or equipment, in which the partly completed machinery is to be assembled. Each assembly instruction shall contain, where applicable, at least the following information:

(a) a general description of the partly completed machinery;

(b) the drawings, diagrams, descriptions and explanations necessary for the incorporation into the final machinery, maintenance and repair of the partly completed machinery and for checking its correct functioning;

(c) warnings concerning the ways in which the partly completed machinery must not be used that experience has shown might occur;

(d) assembly, installation and connection instructions, including drawings, diagrams and the means of attachment and the designation of the chassis or installation on which the partly completed machinery is to be mounted;

(e) information regarding noise or vibration which is likely to be reduced by the incorporation;

(f) information about the essential health and safety requirements set out in Annex III which are applicable to the partly completed machinery;

(g) the essential characteristics of tools which may be fitted to the partly completed machinery;

(h) the conditions in which the partly completed machinery meets the requirement of stability, transportation, assembly, dismantling when out of service, testing or foreseeable breakdowns;

(i) instructions with a view to ensuring that transport, handling and storage operations can be made safely, giving the mass of the partly completed machinery and of its various parts where these are regularly to be transported separately;

(j) the operating method to be followed in the event of accident or breakdown; if a blockage is likely to occur, the operating method to be followed so as to enable the equipment to be safely unblocked;

(k) the description of the adjustment and maintenance operations that should be carried out by the user and the preventive maintenance measures that should be observed taking account of the design;

(l) instructions designed to enable adjustment and maintenance to be carried out safely, including the protective measures that should be taken during these operations;

(m) the specifications of the spare parts to be used, when these affect the health and safety of operators;

(n) a clear description of the version of the assembly instructions which corresponds to the partly completed machinery model. If the partly completed machinery is intended to be used in machinery covered by Annex III, chapters 2 to 6, the assembly instructions must also contain relevant information to be used in the instructions for use for these machinery.

3. The assembly instructions for partly completed machinery shall contain the EU declaration of incorporation, or the internet address or machine readable code where the EU declaration of incorporation can be accessed.
