We make it happen

CE marking & ATEX

As a company you must comply with current legislation and ensure that production plants are CE marked and that an assessment has been made about ATEX zones.

Our areas of expertise and services

Before machinery can commence operation, certain machines and facilities must obtain CE marking. CE marking a facility can be a complex exercise and includes new as well as old production equipment, which is subject to different directives depending on age. The end user is responsible for complying with the directives to do with CE approval.

Below you can read more about our services in official approval with CE marking, ATEX, which is equipment placed in explosive atmospheres, and fire safety.

The New Machine Regulation (EU) 2023/1230

The landscape of machine safety and compliance in the European Union is evolving. The new EU Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230, which replaces the existing Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, came into force in July 2023 and will become fully applicable and mandatory by January 2027. At Process Engineering, we believe in staying ahead of the curve—so here’s what you need to know.

CE marking

CE marking is a key indicator of whether a product complies with EU legislation and facilitates the free movement of goods on the European market.

We can provide insight into how you can plan you project in a strategic way with a view to minimising time consumption and simplifying documentation.

ATEX

ATEX is the set of rules that apply to equipment used in explosive atmospheres and to workers who are potentially at risk from explosive atmospheres.

We offer certification and CE marking of equipment in accordance with the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU. Thus we handle communication with notified bodies and other authorities.

HAZOP

HAZOP stands for “Hazard and Operability” and is a systematic and structured method to identify and analyze potential hazards, operational problems, and unwanted incidents in the design of a facility or process.

We can facilitate the HAZOP analysis and manage the team to ensure that a HAZOP analysis is carried out. We define the points that a HAZOP analysis should include, ensure an overview of the process, and identify who has the competencies to participate in the HAZOP team.

Fire safety

Fire safety related to a project is described in a fire strategy and is typically achieved through a combination of passive protection (optimum plant layout, choice of material, fire walls, etc.), fire-fighting equipment and fire-technical installations.

We offer to prepare a fire strategy in accordance with the building regulations and relevant executive orders for the project, and we also manage contact to relevant authorities.

Cases

Over the years, we have completed many projects for manufacturing companies, system builders, and workshops.
