CE Marking - non EU Manufacturers

Example 1: Small electrical equipment

A US manufacturer of electrical equipment used in skin care service sector was looking to export to Europe and required its equipment to be CE marked. It had investigated getting local assistance but this proved both difficult and potentially very expensive. They contacted us and following initial discussions it was agreed that a unit would be set for initial evaluation (free of charge). Following the initial review it was apparent that he unit would not be acceptable in the original form. It was proposed that remedial action be carried out before the detailed assessments, this was agreed in advance. We subsequently provided the following, 

• Rewiring and replacement of key components 
• Detailed LVD assessment and EMC testing  
• Production of detailed information concerning required changes  
• Production of all support technical documentation  

The Company has now established a European representative and it starting to promote the units in the UK. 

Example 2: Electrically controlled, hydraulically powered platforms

Working with a UK representative we provided CE assistance and advice to a US based company that manufactures large powered platforms for use in a range of industrial applications such as for accessing chemical tankers during unloading etc. The units are classified as machines and can be operated in potentially explosive atmospheres. We provided a range of assistance including,  

• Advice concerning the process and applicable directives 
• Initial reviews of design approaches and detailed drawings  
• On-site assessment of the machine against identified harmonized standards  
• On-site recommendations and assistance resulting in changes to ensure compliance  
• Production of all support technical documentation 

• Detailed assessments 
• Pragmatic solutions 
• Remedial actions 
• Complete solutions
