About us

Established in 1987 to offer an external support to leading mechanical, electronic and IT companies for drafting and translation of technical manuals, Micro Style S.r.l. is now recognized as a competent player in the main aspects of safety and CE marking of:

	simple and complex machines
	complex plants and production lines
	electrical equipment
	machines and lines for Packaging, Food & Beverage
	plants and lines in the Aeromotive, Automotive, Automation sector

All this has been possible thanks to the initiative of the company founder, Rita Pera, who understood well in advance, what the European Directives of the new approach would have represented for the technical documentation sector.

Being member as far back as 1989 in the working group coordinated by UCIMU (Union of Italian Machine Tool Manufacturers), to implement the obligations imposed to the Manufacturers by the first machinery directive and culminated with the presentation to over 500 manufacturing companies of the “Guidelines for the drawing up of technical documentation and instruction manual for machinery“, in the conference room of the old Milan fair, Micro Style focused all its efforts on “techniques” and “working methods” aimed at producing documentation: streamlined, efficient, complete and compliant with the safety requirements of the Directives.

Our main asset: human resources, know-how, experience acquired over the years. The Micro Style organization includes specialized professionals such as:

	analysts and safety experts
	technical writers, graphic designers and translators
	communication experts and trainers

Our senior staff has thirty years of experience in the areas of safety, technical writing, training and quality, which guarantees maximum confidentiality and professionality to customers. The correctness of the relationships with the Customer is one of the most important aspects that characterize the mission of our company. Upon request, a written statement is therefore provided with which Micro Style undertakes not to disclose or use any written or graphic information that remains the exclusive property of the Customer.

Micro Style support includes all stages of the CE Marking process::

1.	risk analysis and assessment according to EN ISO 12100 and ISO TR 14121-2 standards.
2.	selection and application of harmonized standards in compliance with 2006/42/EC Directive
3.	constitution of the technical file (Annex VII of the 2006/42/EC Directive)
4.	drafting of use and maintenance manuals (EN 12100 and EHSR 1.7.4 of Annex I)
5.	calculation of the safety functions’ Performance Level (EN ISO 13849-1)
6.	electrical safety tests (EN 60204-1)

and also extends to other activities aimed at improving the efficiency of machinery and equipment and consolidating the manufacturer's image.

	FMEA/FMECA analysis
	total preventive maintenance
	preventive maintenance training for the manufacturers' customers
	training/seminars for designers
	adaptation of machines built before 1996 to the safety requirements of the Annex V of the 81/08 Directive

Micro Style does not deal with the design, construction or technical service of machines or plants, but can support machinery manufacturers in the design, manufacturing and technical assistance of safe machines through a correct choice, interpretation and application of European Directives (mandatory statutory provisions) and harmonized standards (technical supports for the correct implementation of the Directives). The directives applicable to machinery vary from a minimum of 2 to a maximum of 4 and, being a “provision of law”, they must be applied “word by word”, without exceptions or exclusions.

The harmonized standards related to the Directives are more than 2000 for a total of over 100,000 pages. The choice of the “appropriate“ standards and their correct application is not always simple task and it is for small and/or medium-sized companies. The Micro Style support can be the right “key“ to make the correct choice, put it into practice quickly and therefore obtain the “presumption of conformity“ with the requirements of the Directives.
