CE marking and technical file support
Buyers importing machinery and equipment into the EU need complete, credible conformity documentation. We review the supplier's technical file before the goods ship.
01What the service involves
Products such as machinery, pressure equipment, electrical equipment and construction products require conformity assessment and CE marking before being placed on the EU market. The manufacturer is responsible, but importers and distributors also carry obligations to verify documentation.
QUALITAS TR reviews the supplier's technical documentation: product description and drawings, risk assessment, list of applied harmonised standards, test reports, calculations, the EU declaration of conformity, labelling and instructions. We identify gaps, help the supplier close them and verify on site that the product matches the file.
02Why buyers need it
Missing or weak technical files are common for smaller manufacturers, and the consequences fall on the importer: market surveillance actions, shipment delays or product withdrawals.
A review before shipment is far cheaper than a dispute after customs or an authority request.
03Typical applications
- Special machines and production lines
- Pressure equipment and assemblies
- Electrical equipment and control panels
- Construction products such as structural steel
- Spare parts and components with safety functions
- Private label products imported into the EU
