CE Compliance Support
Machinery and Manufactured Products
I guide manufacturers and distributors through the complete CE compliance process or provide dedicated support for individual tasks.
I can support you with CE compliance in the following areas:
- Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230
- Low Voltage Directive
- EMC Directive
- Pressure Equipment Directive
- ATEX legislation
- Radio Equipment Directive
- RoHS requirements
- REACH Regulation
- other applicable EU product legislation, depending on the product
You are developing a new machine or product
I can support you through the CE compliance process from the beginning, identify the applicable requirements and help prepare the documentation needed before the product is placed on the market.
You are modifying or upgrading an existing machine
I can assess how the changes affect its compliance and whether the documentation, risk assessment or CE marking needs to be updated. Where required, I can also prepare the necessary documentation updates for your review and approval.
You are selling or importing a product in the EU
I can help you understand your responsibilities and check whether the required documentation, declarations and supporting evidence are in place.
You are unsure which legislation and standards apply
I can identify the relevant EU legislation and applicable standards and help define a practical compliance approach for your product.
You need a risk assessment
I can prepare, review or improve a risk assessment and help connect the identified risks with suitable protective measures. Any assessment I prepare is based on the technical information you provide and must be reviewed, confirmed and approved by you as part of your product documentation.
You need a Technical File prepared
I can help build and structure the Technical File from the beginning, identify the required documentation and prepare relevant compliance documents using the technical information, drawings, calculations, test evidence and supplier documentation you provide.
Your Technical File is incomplete or disorganised
I can review the existing documentation, identify missing elements and help bring the Technical File into a clear, structured and usable form.
You need operating, installation or maintenance instructions
I can prepare or review instructions and manuals so that they support safe use and address the applicable regulatory and technical requirements. Documents prepared by me are provided for your technical review and approval before use.
You already have documentation but are not sure whether it is sufficient
I can carry out a document review or gap analysis and provide a clear overview of what is missing, unclear or needs improvement.
You need the complete CE compliance work carried out
I can carry out the compliance work from the initial assessment through applicable legislation and standards, risk assessment, documentation preparation and Technical File compilation. You provide the necessary technical information and supporting evidence and review and approve the resulting documentation. The completed documentation remains yours, together with the manufacturer’s responsibility for the conformity of the product.
You only need support with one part of the process
I can also provide focused support for an individual task without taking over the complete compliance project.

My approach to CE compliance is practical and straightforward: understand the product, identify what genuinely applies, establish what evidence is needed and help you build a compliance process that is clear and manageable.
