CE Marking

Machinery manufactured, imported from non EU countries or substantially modified is subject to the CE Marking process, when put into service in the European market.

 The CE mark declares that your machines meet the essential requirements of all relevant EU Directives. Assemblies of machines such as robot cells and production lines also fall under this obligation.

The CE Marking process and the interpretation of this directive, along with other CE directives and standards requires a high level of knowledge and expertise. Such a level of competence is difficult to maintain in an ever changing regulatory environment.

Pilz will manage the activities and processes generating the necessary compliance strategies, safety designs and documents. These include:
 

• Certification project management
• Determination and application of the relevant Directives and Standards
• Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment
• Creation of a Safety Concept and generation of related Safety Design
• Evaluation of compliance and recommendations in relation with EHSR
• Conducting required checks, tests, and measurements
• Compiling the legally required documents including the technical construction file
• Document archiving and management  
   

In a situation when individual machines are purchased and then linked together to form a manufacturing plant (complex assembly) we will take overall responsibility for CE marking! Acting as project supervisor we will define overall safety engineering principles in consultation with our customer and other suppliers.

Pilz will ensure that all legal and technical requirements are considered objectively from the earliest possible stage minimising cost and complexity, and avoiding delays in placing product on the market.

Our accreditation by DATech shows that we are competent to carry out the activities with a high level of reliability and with the necessary quality. To guarantee this we maintain structured competence and quality management schemes.
