CE MARKING FOR MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 22 October 2014 This course is based primarily on the Machinery Directive. It provides guidance to compliance and assists participants to determine the route that is most appropriate, cost-effective and efficient for their product. For the majority of companies, CE marking is a self-certification process and involves an evaluation of the product or equipment either by risk assessment or against a relevant standard. The course will be interactive and participative, with opportunities for discussion, and is supported by a practical risk assessment exercise and comprehensive course notes. On completion, participants should:  Have gained an understanding of the statutory requirements involved;  Understand technical requirements and interpret compliance standards;  Be able to apply risk assessment techniques relevant to CE marking;  Understand the CE marking process and identify the best route to compliance. There will be both electrical and mechanical consultants present to answer any informal questions, plus Invest NI staff to advise of further help and support available. The course is aimed at managers, engineers, technicians, safety professionals... anyone involved in the design, development, manufacture, supply, importation, use, or installation of mechanical and electro-mechanical machinery.
