"CE" Support for equipment suppliers

This applies to all equipment supplied for first time use in the EU.

  • The manufacturer is normally accountable for ensuring that this process is followed
  • For equipment imported into the EU, the importer is accountable
  • It applies even if the equipment is for self use
  • It applies to all machinery supplied for first time use within the EU after 1 Jan. 1995, even if the equipment is older than this
For the majority of equipment, the process is one of self-certification (there is no “CE Inspector”).

Failure to follow this process can lead to fines. In cases where equipment is exported to other EU countries, it can also result in equipment being held at customs. Whilst it is primarily an EU requirement, SSS have been asked to provide support for equipment being exported to non-EU countries.

The service provided by SSS enables you to meet your legal obligations and to apply the CE mark. 

Where appropriate, we provide design change suggestions in order to meet the requirements of the appropriate standards.
