Project management, technical consulting, and CE certification of used or new equipment

CE mark (Conformité Européenne – a French phrase meaning “European Conformity”) – is a conformity marking indicating that a product meets the safety, health and environmental protection standards set by the European Union. This mark means the product may be used in all EU countries. CE marking is mandatory and must be in place before the product is placed on the market, i.e., before it is sold or used within the European Economic Area (EEA). The CE marking requirement applies only to products covered by EU directives or regulations that set CE marking requirements. If a specific directive stipulates that a product must bear the CE mark, it must be affixed before the product is placed on the market or after a modification when the product is considered new. The CE mark must be affixed by the manufacturer, importer, or authorised representative, who is responsible for ensuring that the product meets all applicable requirements. This mark confirms that the product complies with the applicable legislation and gives the user confidence that the product is safe and reliable. CE marking is based on the EU Declaration of Conformity – a legal document by which the manufacturer, importer, or authorised representative confirms compliance with EU directives and regulations. This declaration includes information about the product, the applicable EU legal requirements and standards, and indicates which conformity assessment procedures have been carried out. Challenges of CE marking:
  • Complex requirements: difficulties in understanding and correctly applying various EU directives and regulations.
  • Preparation of documentation: the need to prepare appropriate technical documentation and test reports, which requires significant resources.
  • Constantly changing requirements: EU directives and regulations are often updated, so manufacturers must continuously follow the latest changes and adapt their products and processes to current standards.
  • Ongoing post-certification control: after obtaining the CE mark, the manufacturer must ensure that the product continues to meet all established requirements throughout its service life. This includes continuous quality monitoring, control, and responding to potential non-conformities or defects.
Stages of the CE certification process:
  1. Identification of applicable directives.
The first step in the CE certification process is to determine which EU directive(s) apply to the specific product. This stage is crucial because the chosen directive determines all subsequent actions – what tests will be carried out, what documents will be prepared, and which requirements must be fulfilled. UAB “Techninis projektas” works with products and equipment that fall under the requirements of Directive 2006/42/EC.
  1. Defining the requirements of the directives
Each directive sets out the essential health and safety requirements applicable to all products, as well as additional requirements specific to certain types of machinery. To demonstrate compliance with these requirements, it is necessary to rely on harmonised standards across the European Union that help reduce risks associated with machinery design and manufacture. Identifying requirements means selecting these standards and applying them in practice. Our main standards used:

III. Determining the conformity assessment procedure At this stage, the appropriate conformity assessment procedure for the specific product is determined. The current situation is analysed — the functionality of the equipment, available documentation, safety measures and manufacturing processes. The aim is to identify what actions or improvements are needed for the product to fully comply with EU and Lithuanian requirements. Once the conformity route has been properly identified, it is possible to proceed to detailed risk assessment and preparation of technical documentation.
  1. Product conformity assessment
It is determined whether additional safety measures or modernisation are necessary for the equipment. The equipment is inspected in accordance with the machinery safety rules, assessing all risk areas. Important: if equipment from several manufacturers is connected into one line, the CE certificate must apply to the entire system, not to individual parts. If necessary, the following are carried out: Modernisation and implementation of safety measures; according to the identified needs, technical solutions are prepared — safety measures and components are selected, and the budget and work schedule are planned. Also carried out: Testing and inspections: before the equipment is put into service, the necessary tests are performed; if needed, independent laboratories or experts are engaged. End of this stage: Final evaluation: A final check is carried out to ensure that all identified risks have been reduced or eliminated.
  1. Preparation of technical documentation
At this stage, all the documentation necessary for the operation of the equipment is prepared: Instructions for use and maintenance; Test and inspection results; Spare parts lists; Assembly and maintenance drawings; Electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic diagrams; other documents and drawings required depending on the situation.
  1. Declaration of conformity and CE marking
Finally, the EU Declaration of Conformity is prepared, confirming that the product meets all applicable requirements, and the product is affixed with the CE mark. The result of the entire process is equipment that not only meets all standards but also operates more reliably and efficiently.
