Declaration of Incorporation

In accordance with the revised version of the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) dated May 2006 a Declaration of Incorporation was introduced as a legally binding replacement for the Manufacturer's Declaration with effect from 29 December 2009. This declaration must include information stating that machinery must not be put into service until all the components have been declared in conformity with the Directive.
Pumps in pull-out design are generally vertically installed tubular casing pumps whose rotating assembly can be easily removed and re-installed.
Sometimes not only the rotating assembly but also the diffuser with the wear ring can be pulled out of the tubular casing without any need to remove the pump casing from the piping and the foundation (also see Back pull-out design).
