United KingdomThe EFI Cretaprint Nozomi 14000 LED Industrial Single Pass Digital Ink Jet Printer (serial number 202522), an industrial single‑pass digital ink printer made in Spain and sold under the EFI Cretaprint brand, is affected. It was withdrawn because the guarding interlock switches do not meet BS EN ISO 60204‑1:2018, can be easily bypassed so the machine can run with the guard open, and the control system showed no evidence of interlock monitoring, creating a risk of entrapment. EFI Cretaprint has withdrawn the product from the market and the HSE has instructed the manufacturer not to supply any further machines until they conform to the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008.
