CE and UKCA marks indicate that a product meets the health, safety, and environmental protection requirements of EU and UK legislation respectively.
Yes. The vast majority of products follow a self-certification process. For machinery, only 23 specific machine types require third-party notified body involvement.
Over 20 EU Directives and an equivalent number of UK Statutory Instruments apply to CE/UKCA marking, along with hundreds of harmonised standards.
Our market legislation support helps businesses navigate CE/UKCA marking requirements, including identifying applicable legislation, understanding harmonised standards, and achieving compliance.
Our services include self-certification guidance, legislation scope identification, harmonised/designated standards advice, compliance gap assessment, technical file support, and Declaration of Conformity assistance.
Our compliance gap analysis identifies the differences between your machinery’s current state and the legislative safety requirements needed to achieve certification.
A technical file is a document that justifies compliance with CE/UKCA marking requirements. It is an essential component of the certification process, and we can help you build one.
A Declaration of Conformity is a formal document stating that your product meets all applicable legislative requirements for CE/UKCA marking. We assist in generating this document.
Harmonised (EU) and designated (UK) standards are technical specifications that, when followed, provide a presumption of conformity with legislative requirements.
Our safety and risk assessments identify workplace and machinery hazards, evaluate existing controls, and provide recommendations to minimise risk and ensure legal compliance.
PUWER is the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998. It sets legal requirements for the safe use of work equipment in the UK.
