CE certification<\/b> is a key element for legally selling many products within the European Union. The CE mark indicates that the product has passed an assessment of compliance with safety, health and environmental requirements set by EU legislation. This is not only a manufacturer's commitment to high quality standards, but also a guarantee that the product can circulate freely in the single European market.\n

\nOur company, operating as Notified Body No. 1462<\/b>, specializes in Certification of CE conformity<\/b> for a variety of equipment, including pressure equipment in accordance with Directive 2014\/68\/EU (PED), simple pressure vessels in accordance with Directive 2014\/29\/EU (SPV), and noise-emitting compressor units in accordance with Directive 2000\/14\/EC<\/b>. The services we offer include a professional conformity assessment, which is necessary to obtain the CE marking, confirming the product's compliance with European legal requirements.\n

\nOur offer is aimed at both manufacturers in Europe and outside Europe who wish to sell their products on the European market<\/b>. We provide comprehensive support and high quality services in the field of CE conformity assessment for refrigeration, air conditioning, heat pump and refrigerated transport equipment. Through our activities, we support the free movement of goods within the European Economic Area, which is crucial for success in the competitive European market.\n\n<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Certification process, also known as conformity assessment, consists of several key stages. Here is a detailed description of each:<\/span><\/p>

    1. Request for Proposal\/Application:<\/strong> The process begins with submitting a request for proposal or an application to the relevant certification body. This request includes basic information about the product and the scope of certification.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    2. Quotation\/Contract:<\/strong> Upon receiving the request, the certification body prepares a quotation detailing costs, duration of the process, and requirements. Once the quotation is accepted, both parties sign a contract.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    3. Activities outlined in the conformity assessment module\/system:<\/strong> At this stage, various activities are conducted to verify the product’s compliance with specified standards and regulations. These may include laboratory tests, audits, inspections, and technical documentation review.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    4. Decision and issuance of certificate\/certificate:<\/strong> After successfully completing all required activities, the certification body makes a decision to grant the certificate. The issued certificate or attestation confirms the product’s compliance with relevant standards and regulations.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    5. Surveillance of issued certificate:<\/strong> In some cases, as per the requirements of the conformity assessment module or system, surveillance of the issued certificate is conducted. This may involve regular checks and audits to ensure that the product continues to meet the required standards.<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ol>

      Each of these stages is crucial to ensuring that the product meets all legal and normative requirements, which are essential for its lawful distribution in the market.<\/span><\/p> <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
