UK Farm‑Baler.com Co., Ltd (hereafter “the Company”) confirms its commitment to full regulatory compliance with all applicable UK environmental, health & safety, and machinery supply‑legislation relevant to the design, manufacture, importation, supply and servicing of agricultural machinery (including but not limited to round balers, bale handling systems and related equipment). This document outlines the Company’s approach, and is intended to demonstrate its systematic adherence to legal and regulatory obligations under UK law.
Environmental Management and Legal Framework
The Company recognises its obligation to operate in a manner consistent with the UK’s environmental protection framework, including the Environment Act 2021, which sets out the UK Government’s targets and plans for improving the natural environment. The Company also acknowledges the need for responsible disposal of waste, control of emissions, resource efficiency and pollution prevention.
Although the Company’s core business is machinery supply rather than direct farming operations, we understand that our machinery may be used in sensitive land‑, water‑ or ecosystem‑adjacent environments (e.g., agricultural fields, buffer zones, farm watercourses). Accordingly:
We design and certify our equipment to minimise soil compaction, fuel/ hydraulic‑fluid leakage, and ensure safe removal of residual oils or lubricants.
We provide clear user instructions for the correct deployment, operation and maintenance of equipment so as to avoid inadvertent environmental damage (such as disturbance of protected habitats, contamination of watercourses and uncontrolled waste materials).
We retain documentation of environmental risk assessments, maintenance schedules, and end‑of‑life (“take‑back” or appropriate recycling) procedures for all major components.
We monitor and review any changes in regulation and industry best‑practice guidance (for example via the Environment Agency, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and other UK farm‑compliance oversight mechanisms) to ensure our product design, manufacturing and distribution remain aligned with current requirements.
Machinery Safety, Supply and Importation Compliance
As a supplier of agricultural machinery into the Great Britain (GB) market, the Company confirms compliance with the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 (as amended) and related product‑safety requirements. Key practices include:
Ensuring every machine placed onto the GB market fulfils the “essential health & safety requirements” (EHSRs) set out in the Regulations.
Preparation and retention of a full technical file (including risk assessment, design documentation, user/servicing instructions, test reports).
Affixing the relevant conformity markings (UKCA, or CE marking where applicable) indicating compliance.
Ensuring that imported machinery is accompanied by the correct safety, environmental and customs documentation (including conformity declarations, import/export records, EORI registrations and classification under the UK Global Tariff).
Providing clear user instructions specifying safe deployment and maintenance of the machine (including guarding of moving parts, proper use of power take‑off shafts, safe hydraulic systems).
Operational Environmental Practices & User Responsibility
While the Company supplies machinery, it also emphasises the importance of responsible use by end‑users (farmers and contractors). We provide:
Operating manuals detailing correct use of our machines to minimise environmental impact (e.g., correct field entry, minimising soil damage, avoiding field runoff risks).
Maintenance and servicing guidance so machines operate efficiently (reducing excess fuel consumption, avoiding oil leaks or excessive noise emissions).
Environmental best‑practice reminders (such as respect for watercourses, wetland buffers, protected species/habitats) consistent with guidelines issued by the Environment Agency and farming regulatory bodies.
End‑of‑life guidance for purchasers regarding disposal, recycling or responsible reuse of machinery parts or components in line with UK circular economy expectations.
Continual Improvement & Monitoring
The Company commits to regularly reviewing product design, internal procedures and supplier performance to identify opportunities for improved environmental performance, reduced emissions (including fuel/ hydraulic usage) and improved durability (thereby reducing waste and resource consumption). We monitor regulatory developments (including any changes to machinery legislation, environmental standards, and agricultural operations guidance) and adjust our compliance frameworks accordingly.
Summary
UK Farm‑Baler.com Co., Ltd hereby confirms that it fulfils its obligations regarding machinery safety, product supply and environmental compliance for the UK market and will continue to meet all relevant legal and regulatory requirements. We aim to provide agricultural machinery of high quality, safe design and minimal environmental impact, coupled with responsible user guidance and ongoing support.
By aligning our design, manufacturing, supply and documentation practices with UK statutory requirements and industry best‑practice, we demonstrate our commitment to being a trustworthy supplier committed to sustainable agricultural equipment solutions.
