Ce Marking; How Are The Tests Carried Out - Pilatech Spring Unit Home Assembly And Maintenance Manual

CE Marking

Unlike the GS mark, the CE marking is a manufacturer's self-declaration and doesn't prove compliance with all
applicable directives.
For most products sold in the EU, the CE marking and the declaration of conformity are mandatory.
With the exception of some high risk products, the manufacturer can self declare that their products comply with
the directive.
Whilst the CE marking allows products to access the European market, it is not a quality approval marking. The
CE marking is only a self declaration of the manufacturer's responsibilities. While enabling products to be sold
in the European market, it allows free movement of goods, as well as the withdrawal of non conforming products.

How are the tests carried out?

A sample of the product is tests by TÜV Rheinland ( http://www.tuvitalia.com ).
The ultimate and crucial purpose of these tests is to prevent customers from being exposed to risks caused by using the product.
Some risks could be sharp corners or overhangs, which could trap or "shear" the user's fingers, or inadequate grips.
Equally as important is the information provided to our customers – comprehensive user instructions, including warnings when
necessary.
Another crucial procedure we offer is monitoring our production processes.
TÜV experts check on site if all the standard requirements and the legal obligations are complied with during the entire production
process and if the product inspected during production has the same quality features of the sample tested.
This monitoring procedure is regularly repeated after issuing the certification.
This is the only way to ensure that the Quality certified by the GS marking is maintained at all times.
