CE Conformity Assessment

Our CE conformity assessment service supports manufacturers, importers and system integrators in assessing, documenting and demonstrating CE conformity for machinery, partly completed machinery, ATEX equipment, electrical products and complex industrial assemblies.

Structured CE Assessment for Industrial Products

CE conformity is not just a final declaration or a label on the product. It is a structured technical and legal assessment process that starts with product classification, intended use, applicable legislation and risk assessment.

Small technical details such as delivery condition, intended use, control system architecture, pressure level, medium, ATEX zone, product modification or integration into a larger assembly can significantly change the applicable obligations.

ExConform helps you define the correct conformity route, clarify responsibilities and prepare the required documentation before your product is placed on the EU market.

1 Classify the product Machinery, partly completed machinery, ATEX, PED, electrical equipment or assembly.
2 Define obligations Identify EU legislation, standards, roles and responsibilities.
3 Assess risks Review hazards, interfaces, intended use and foreseeable misuse.
4 Prepare evidence Build the technical file, matrices, reports, manuals and declarations.
5 Support CE strategy Define the declaration, marking and customer documentation package.

Our CE Conformity Assessment Process

Our work follows a structured route from product classification through to technical documentation and declaration strategy.

Step 01

Product Classification

We determine what the product legally is: complete machinery, partly completed machinery, safety component, electrical equipment, ATEX equipment, pressure equipment or an assembly of machinery.

Our service: Product classification and clear identification of the correct conformity route.
Step 02

Intended Use & Product Boundaries

We clarify the intended application, delivery scope, interfaces, operating limits and foreseeable misuse, especially for OEM modules, imported products and customised variants.

Our service: Review of product scope, interfaces, intended use and integration responsibilities.
Step 03

Applicable EU Legislation

Depending on the product, several EU legal acts may apply at the same time, including machinery, EMC, low voltage, ATEX or pressure equipment requirements.

Our service: Directive and regulation matrix tailored to your product and application.
Step 04

Complete vs. Partly Completed Machinery

We assess whether the product can perform its intended function independently or whether it requires further integration before it can be used.

Our service: Machinery status assessment and documentation strategy for CE marking, Declaration of Conformity or Declaration of Incorporation.
Step 05

Risk Assessment & Risk Reduction

We identify mechanical, electrical, thermal, pressure-related, EMC-related and explosion-related risks and support practical risk reduction measures.

Our service: Risk assessment support, protective measures and residual risk review.
Step 06

Standards & Technical Requirements

We identify relevant harmonised standards and technical specifications to improve legal certainty and reduce unnecessary documentation effort.

Our service: Standards matrix and gap analysis against applicable safety and conformity requirements.
Step 07

EMC, Electrical Safety, ATEX & PED Review

Products such as blowers, compressors, control cabinets, frequency-drive systems, hydrogen applications or ATEX variants often require additional assessment.

Our service: Review of EMC, electrical safety, ATEX and pressure equipment relevance, including test and notified body considerations.
Step 08

Importer, Manufacturer & Modification Assessment

Companies importing products, selling under their own name or modifying existing CE-marked equipment may assume additional legal responsibilities.

Our service: Role assessment for manufacturers, importers, distributors and integrators, including delta assessment after modifications.
Step 09

Technical Documentation Review

CE conformity must be supported by drawings, calculations, risk assessment, test reports, standards lists, manuals and declarations.

Our service: Review, structuring or preparation of the technical file and conformity documentation.
Step 10

Declaration & CE Marking Strategy

We define whether an EU Declaration of Conformity, Declaration of Incorporation, ATEX declaration or other documentation route is required.

Our service: Declaration review, CE marking strategy and customer documentation package.

Legislation and Technical Areas We Commonly Review

Many products require more than one compliance assessment. We help identify which technical areas are relevant and how they interact.

Machinery

Machinery safety, partly completed machinery, assemblies, risk assessment, safety functions and documentation strategy.

EMC & Electrical Safety

Electrical equipment, control cabinets, frequency converters, interference risks, test requirements and documentation evidence.

ATEX & Explosion Protection

Equipment intended for explosive atmospheres, ignition source assessment, zones, categories and documentation requirements.

Pressure Equipment

Pressure level, fluid group, vessel or piping classification, PED relevance and possible conformity assessment modules.

Importer Responsibilities

EU market placement, rebranding, private labelling, distributor obligations and transfer of manufacturer responsibilities.

Product Modification

Delta assessment after technical changes, integration into systems or modification of existing CE-marked equipment.

Questions We Help You Answer

Is my product a complete machine?

We assess whether your equipment can perform its intended function independently or whether it should be treated as partly completed machinery.

Which EU directives apply?

We identify whether machinery, EMC, low voltage, ATEX, pressure equipment or other legislation applies to your product.

Can existing CE documentation be reused?

We evaluate what can be carried over from previous assessments and where a delta assessment is required.

Are we manufacturer, importer or integrator?

We clarify legal responsibilities in complex supply chains, import cases, rebranding and product modifications.
