I don't know any French but if it is the French implimentation of the
Machinery directive it would not cotain any EN numbers. The
Machinery directive is a "New Approach" directive and they never
specify particular standards. It specifies routes to compliance that refer
to harmonised standards. Standards adopted by CEN for the Machinery
Directive and the title of which have been published in the OJ become
Harmonised standards.
The dates of application and dates of withdrawal (of conflicting standards)
that are published with these standards determine which constitute the
current
harmonised standards. By this means the directive can be kept technically
up to date uniformly across the EU without having to ament the law in each
state of the EU. Remember that it is each item of equpment that must meet
the requirements on the day it is placed on the market or taken into service
in the EEA. The fact that the design meet the requirements when first
sold does not necessarily mean you can sell it in Europe now.
The Frech implimentation of the Machinery Directive (if that is what
it is) is included in your documentation is there because that is the thing
that has force of French Law. All the other standards only become
legal requirements of French Law by virtue of requirement in that
implimentation to meet harmonised standards.
