Meeting up with requirements​

In step 1 an inventory of applicable product legislation has been made. ​

In step 2 this product legislation will be evaluated.​

The goal is to determine which requirements of the product legislation apply to your machinery and which do not. After this you need to motivate or prove how you can meet up with these requirements. ​

In other words: How to prove the machinery design meets up with the requirements.​

This means a lot of reading and a good interpretation of all product legislation.  ​

Keeping a good overview​

Most product legislation contains long texts. This makes it difficult to have a good overview of applicable or non-applicable requirements and the proof you deliver to meet up with applicable requirements.​

Depending on the CE-roadmap format you have chosen, product legislation that needs to be fully evaluated is presented in a manner you have the overview you need.​

The image below is an example of how normal product legislation layout is converted to an easy-to-work-with format. Each CE-roadmap includes a dashboard sheet that keeps you informed about the status of your CE-marking process.

The CE-Assistant tool also includes a section where harmonized standards, that don’tneed to be fully evaluated, can be consulted.​

Result of step 2​

The proof that the design of your machinery meets up with the requirements ofapplicable legislation.
