CE conformity requirements for products and equipment in Europe

The CE Declaration of Conformity is an essential part of the manufacturing process for companies wishing to market their products on the European market, including the in-house construction or modification of plant. Companies in the surface treatment sector should bear in mind that CE conformity applies not only to traditional plant (e.g. electroplating and painting systems) and machinery, but also to power-driven auxiliary equipment, load-handling devices, and any modifications or extensions to plant. This applies in particular when combining various used plant components to form a new complete system, for example through conveyor technology and automated application using robots or axes. Our professional support offers you comprehensive services covering all aspects of CE Declaration of Conformity.
