CE MARKING
The CE marking is required for many products. It shows that the manufacturer has checked that these products meet EU safety, health or environmental requirements and is an indicator of a product’s compliance with EU legislation it also allows the free movement of products within the European market.
By placing the CE marking on a product a manufacturer is declaring, on his sole responsibility, conformity with all of the legal requirements to achieve CE marking. The manufacturer is thus ensuring validity for that product to be sold throughout the EEA.
Not all products must bear the CE marking. Only those product categories subject to specific directives that provide for the CE marking are required to be CE marked.
CE marking does not mean that a product was made in the EEA, but states that the product is assessed before being placed on the market. It means the product satisfies the legislative requirements to be sold there and that the manufacturer has checked that the product complies with all relevant essential requirements, for example health and safety requirements.
We’ve got the necessary tools and expertise to help assist companies with the compliance process. Our compliance team are available to give advice and assistance on compliance requirements and solutions (referenced directly to the requirements of appropriate EN Standards) and create a Non-Compliance list
Our services include:
Comprehensive Risk Analysis
Required by EN ISO 12100,
Essential Health & Safety Checklist (EHSR) and Euro Norm (EN) Standards List.
Cross reference with the requirements of the Essential Health and Safety Requirements.
This service provides a verification of the resistance to random hardware failures achieved by the specified Safety Related Control Functions (SRCFs). The performance is quantified to either a Performance Level (PL) in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1, or a Safety Integrity Level (SIL) in accordance with EN 62061.
Detailed Instruction Manual.
Including safe installation/dismantling, instructions for purpose and safe use, frequency of inspections, safe planned maintenance (service and repair) and where necessary; training instructions.
Technical Construction File.
Including safety related control circuitry assessments, risk assessments, essential Health & Safety requirements complete with detailed drawings showing conformity with the EHSR.
Also, a checklist to any relevant C type standard for electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic equipment.
Other requirements of the functional safety standards (EN ISO 13849-1 and EN 62061) that deal with the systematic aspects are not included in the scope. This includes, but is not limited to, the verification of the determination of the PL or SIL targets, and the verification of the detailed design (both hardware and software).
The compliance with other standards that may also be relevant to some aspects of the Safety Related Controls (e.g. EN 60204; EN 13855) are also beyond the scope of this service.
