CE Marking in Plant Engineering: Obligations for Manufacturers and Operators with Focus on Germany
 
Detailed knowledge of CE marking is essential for all companies, firms, distributors and importers who design, develop, manufacture, distribute or operate equipment, machinery or systems in the European Economic Area. This knowledge is essential in order to comply with the applicable and binding directives.
The tasks of the manufacturer in the context of CE marking of products for the European market are clearly presented in this book.
The requirements resulting from the Machinery Directive MRL 2006/42/EC and the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU as well as the Product Safety Act (ProdSG) form the basis of this book. The procedures for risk assessment and conformity assessment are also described.
In addition, the book provides an overview of the duties of the plant operator and the obligations arising from the Occupational Health and Safety Act.
Numerous abbreviations and terms related to the subject are explained concisely and clearly. In addition, very useful forms for risk assessment, declaration of conformity and declaration of incorporation are included as editable templates.
The result is an up-to-date, user-friendly guide to the practicalities of CE marking certification.
