End-to-end conformity consultancy — risk assessment, technical documentation, and compliance verification for EU market access.
CE Marking helps ensure that machinery imported into the European Union meets the required EU safety and compliance standards, whether it is a standalone machine or part of an integrated assembly.
The EU has strict safety and compliance requirements for machinery entering its market. Non-compliance can result in rejected machines, market restrictions, costly delays, penalties, or other legal consequences. CE marking helps ensure your machinery meets the required standards before it enters the EU market.
The directives below are already established elsewhere in Prazamana's work.
CE Marking helps ensure that machinery imported into the European Union meets the required EU safety and compliance standards, whether it is a standalone machine or part of an integrated assembly.
CE marking is required before a machine is placed on the EU market or put into service there. Machinery in scope of the EU rules must be compliant and carry the CE marking and an EU Declaration of Conformity before it enters the market. If you are unsure whether your machine is in scope, tell Prazamana about the machinery and its destination market and the team will advise.
Machinery placed on the EU market is generally covered, including standalone machines and machines that are part of an integrated assembly. The main rules are the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU and the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU, depending on the machine. Note that the Machinery Directive is due to be replaced by the Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230, which applies from 20 January 2027, so which rules apply depends on when the machine is placed on the market.
No. Most machines can be assessed by the manufacturer through its own conformity assessment. An independent assessment by a notified body is needed only in certain cases, such as for the higher-risk machine categories listed in the EU rules. Determining whether one is required is a standard step in the CE process, and Prazamana can help you work this out for your machine.
Tell us about the machinery and its destination market and we'll scope the work.
