We help you to act correctly with regard to your machines

in a complex regulatory environment.

 

Our technicians accompany you through the various stages of your machinery's regulatory path to verify the conformity of its CE marking and help you eliminate the risk of related occupational accidents.

Pre-purchase study

Before purchasing a machine, we answer your questions about CE marking in relation to a possible modification or integration into a set of machines.

 

Modification or integration of a machine

When you modify or adapt a machine that you have just bought, integrate it into a set of machines or use it in a different way than intended, the manufacturer's CE marking is no longer valid for the modified parts and you must prove that the modification does not pose a risk. At Eurocontrol, we advise you on the technical file and risk assessment and ensure the conformity of the final installation and the safety of your workers.

 

Sale of machines
We advise you on the verification of conformity prior to the sale of your machines.

CE marking of machines vs RD 1215:

two levels of safety

As a machine user, you must comply with certain requirements to guarantee the safety of your workers. Royal Decree 1215/1997 establishes the minimum health and safety provisions for the use of work equipment, but CE marking guarantees you a higher level of safety.
