The press is a high-risk mechanical equipment whose design and manufacturing standards need to meet the requirements of the European market. CE certification is the basic requirement for press products in the European market, and it is also a necessary condition for manufacturers to enter the European market. CE certification can prove that the design, manufacture, use and safety performance of the press comply with the relevant European regulations and standards. This can not only increase the market competitiveness of the product, but also reduce the product liability risk.

1. Preparation for applying for CE certification of press

The following materials are required to apply for CE certification of the press:

(1) Application form: including company information, product information and basic information such as the model applied for certification.

(2) Technical documents: including product design drawing, structure drawing, parts list, calculation sheet, operation manual, etc.

(3) Quality documents: including quality manual, quality control plan, inspection report, etc.

(4) Safety documents: including safety manuals, risk assessment reports, emergency plans, etc.

Contact a certification body Select an authoritative certification body, such as TuV SuD, UL, etc., to contact and learn about the specific certification process and requirements. At the same time, you need to know the cost and schedule of certification information.

Second, the press CE certification process

Apply for

Submit the application form and technical documents to the certification body, the certification body conducts a preliminary review, confirms that the requirements are met, signs the contract and pays the fee.

examine

The certification body reviews the technical documents submitted, including design compliance with European standards, manufacturing processes and quality assurance. At the same time, on-site audits of the plant are needed to ensure that production conditions and quality assurance systems meet requirements.

test

The certification body arranges the test plan and executes the test according to the audit results. The test content includes but is not limited to mechanical performance test, safety performance test and environmental adaptability test.

Give permission to

After the test is passed, the certification body will issue a CE certificate, allowing the press to be sold on the European market. The validity period of the certificate is 5 years, during which supervision measures such as annual audit and product sampling inspection are required.

Third, press CE certification standards

Press CE certification standards include the following aspects:

Technical specifications: The design, manufacture and use of the press must comply with the relevant European technical specifications and standards, such as EN 1264-1.

Quality requirements: The quality control and assurance system of the press must be sound and comply with European quality management system standards, such as ISO 9001.

Safety standards: The safety performance of the press must comply with European safety standards, such as EN 201-1.

Environmental requirements: The production and use of the press must meet European environmental requirements, such as RoHS.

4. Case study of press CE certification

Taking Zhengzhou Hualong, a well-known press manufacturer, as an example, the lessons learned from its successful CE certification of the press are as follows:

Focus on research and development: The manufacturer continuously develops technology and product innovation to ensure that product design meets European standards, while also improving the manufacturing process and quality assurance system.

Strict quality control: Zhengzhou Hualong Machinery has established a perfect quality control system, from raw material procurement to every link in the manufacturing process are strictly quality control, to ensure stable and reliable product quality.

Strengthen communication and cooperation with certification bodies: Zhengzhou Hualong Machinery actively communicate and cooperate with certification bodies, fully understand the process and requirements of CE certification, and submit relevant documents and information in a timely manner to ensure the smooth progress of the certification process.

Training employees to improve quality: Zhengzhou Hualong Machinery regularly trains employees to improve their business quality and safety awareness to ensure personnel safety and product safety in the production process.
