FREE Webinar – CE Marking: How You Can Check If Suppliers’ Products Comply

The responsibility for product compliance with CE marking requirements lies with the manufacturer. However, when the manufacturer is located outside of the European Union and did not comply with the requirements and procedures, the importer can be held accountable.

Do you trust your supplier enough to sign and take responsibility for his products?

In the new rules that have been introduced in 2008, the importer has the obligation to “ensure” product compliance. This means that the importer must have knowledge of the applicable rules and procedures. It also means that the importer must actively check the documentation, as well as the product. Importers that place on the market non-compliant products may be prosecuted.

What can importers do to comply with their legal obligation to check product conformity? What means does the importer have to detect possible non-compliance?

Join our FREE Webinar, CE Marking: How You Can Check If Suppliers’ Products Comply on the 13th of March 2014 at 16:00 (GMT+01).

Risk Assessment Guide

At the very core of the CE marking for machinery is the risk assessment. Manufacturers are allowed to do the risk assessment themselves. It is even highly recommendable to do it, because it provides for a excellent insight in the safety level of the machinery. But how to conduct the risk assessment?
The Risk Assessment Guide explains a standardized methodology for hazard identification and risk analysis and risk evaluation. This methodology is very practical: it is used by our own experts. The Guide also includes the checklist for the hazard identification, and a template to record the risk analysis and evaluation. As a bonus, you’ll receive a copy of the standard for risk assessment for machinery, the EN 14121-1.

European Authorized Representative

Most CE regulations require you to keep your product’s Technical File in Europe, or to appoint a person who you authorize to compile the Technical File when the authorities request.You may choose to give the Technical File to one of your European distributors. However, many manufactures do not prefer to give the Technical File to their distributors, because it contains a lot of confidential design and manufacturing documentation they do not want to disclose to the distributor. Also, many manufacturers want the keep the flexibility to change a distributor. And the distributor may be excellent in selling, but does he have the required knowledge and experience with regulatory affairs? Like many manufacturers, you can choose to appoint an Authorized Representative to retain your Technical Files and handle the requests from the European authorities.

Choose your Authorized Representative wisely. You don’t want to end up with a cheap, one day company that disappears when you need it the most. Search for a reliable regulatory expert with experience in your field.

People often ask me why I give so much valuable information free on this website. My answer is simple. In my time working in CE marking I’ve met some fantastic people, and I have learned a great deal from them. And I could never give back. This is my way of Giving Forward.

Which is why the articles on the website, as well as in my CE marking newsletter, will be extremely comprehensive, but always free. I have other information products, courses and workshops that you may like to buy to get up to speed or to deepen your knowledge, but the free articles will always be FREE.

“I thought the course was absolutely fantastic; informative, easy to understand and very thorough, broken down into manageable sections – all in all I can’t quite believe it has actually been free and thus far catch free!”
Lawrence Hill, Marine Entertainment Systems, UK

“The best feature of the mini course is the way it is delivered. When it is broken down into steps that are clear and easily understood with lessons spaced a day apart, I find the mini course allows me to absorb and retain the information much better than trying to absorb it all at once. At first, I thought the presentation would be a sales pitch without much usable information. Now I know that is not true, and would consider the services you offer. I would recommend the mini course to anyone with a product they want to CE certify.”
Stephen Cole, RJE International Inc., United States

“I can see that you put a lot of time and effort into the material that you have provided. It is evident that you are both experienced and passionate about your service. I thought the course was absolutely GREAT! The video is well produced and I find that it heightens my interest and thus retention of information. When I started, I must admit, I wondered how you would take such a complex topic and simplify it, so one could gain a good understanding. As I mentioned, the videos especially helped me to gain that understanding by providing a clear and concise overview of what is involved.
Thank you very much for this valuable information deliver in a very timely fashion. I definitely recommend this course to anyone
interested in learning about CE compliance.”
Thomas W. Kaufmann, Technical Publications Specialist, USA

“Yes, your mini-course is very well done, very professional. I liked it a lot.
What struck me the most is how you boiled down a seemingly complex issue into very simple terms, easy to understand. My perceptions before even linking to your site was that CE was going to be very time consuming, expensive and take considerable time to obtain. Now I have a better basic understanding of the process and the requirements, plus knowing that we could self certify, makes everything not a mystery.
I definitely would recommend to anyone who is delving into CE for the first time. Thanks so much!
George Zach, Watertronics LLC, USA

“Hello Han….the course was fabulous. It was very well organized and easy to follow. CE marking for those of us in North America is somewhat of a mystery. The course definitely addressed the knowledge gaps which I had regarding CE marking. I would recommend your course to my colleagues.”
Jeff Stonos, BTI Systems, USA

“I found your course very informative , clear and logical.
Your course is the best I have come across especially the part on Directives and Standards. Unlike those articles given by well known laboratories, they tend to lead readers that the they are the only ones that you must use before you can declare conformity of CE. I will definitely recommend your website to all those people involved directly and indirectly in CE. Well done!”
