Detailed knowledge of CE marking is essential for all businesses, companies, traders, and importers involved in planning, developing, manufacturing, distributing, or operating devices, machines, or systems, in order to comply with the binding regulations applicable in the European Economic Area. This book clearly outlines the certification process for CE marking of products intended for the European market. It addresses the complex relationships of CE marking, compatibility with other testing or quality marks, product liability, as well as civil and criminal consequences of non-compliance with EU directives or improperly affixed CE marks. The requirements arising from the Machinery Directive MRL 2006/42/EC and other directives such as the Low Voltage Directive or EMC Directive, as well as the Product Safety Act (ProdSG), form the basis of this well-established book, which also presents the changes and simplifications in risk assessment and conformity assessment procedures compared to the previous version of the MRL. A glossary provides concise and clear explanations of terms and designations. Additionally, practical forms for risk assessment and conformity and installation declarations are included, offering a current, user-friendly guide for the practical implementation of certification under CE marking. The accompanying CD-ROM contains numerous resources for conducting the certification process under CE marking, including checklists for each step and editable versions of the forms for risk assessment and conformity or installation declarations. Many explanations and cross-references via hyperlinks allow for quick access to the necessary information.
