CE FOR ENERGY SYSTEMS DONE!
WITH THE HELP OF EASYCE
Specifics in the conformity assessment and CE marking of energy systems
The identification of hazards, assessment of the severity of potential damage, and definition of risk-reducing measures receive special attention, as the hazard potential of energy systems is high.
- easyCE often observes in energy systems an extensive conformity assessment procedure and the necessity for complex considerations, especially regarding risk assessment.
- Energy systems often operate in high-voltage ranges. At the same time, most directives do not contain explicit regulations for the high-voltage range, which complicates considerations for CE marking.
- Additionally, energy systems often utilize multiple mediums: Gas and liquid fuels, as well as electricity, are frequently used within the product and converted into heat and/or electricity.
- Therefore, a whole range of directives must be considered, such as ATEX, Machinery Directive, Low Voltage Directive, EMC Directive, Pressure Equipment Directive, and Pressure Vessel Directive. There are several relevant specific standards that also need to be taken into account.
- We count products like cogeneration units (CHP), as well as transformers and power & voltage converters among energy systems.
REFERENCE PROJECTS
Conformity assessment and CE marking of air conditioning systems in industrial facilities and cooling towers, including the creation of the operating instructions.
easyCE supports the entire conformity assessment process, including risk assessment according to ATEX, up to the ready-to-sign Declaration of Conformity for air conditioning systems in industrial facilities and cooling systems. Special attention was given to creating a basic operating manual as a template for adaptation to specific product variants. Due to the risk of Legionella formation, maintenance procedures were particularly considered in the risk assessment.
Considering: 98/37/EG, 97/23/EG, 2006/95/EG, 2004/108/EG, 2014/68/EG, DIN EN 14705:2005-10, DIN EN 13741:2003-5, VDI 2047-1:1992-07
Conformity assessment and CE marking of a machine for energy generation through heat recovery from industrial plants.
easyCE supports the entire conformity assessment process, including risk assessment according to ATEX for a machine resembling a cogeneration unit. As the machine operates at high pressures and temperatures, special focus was placed on assessing the technical framework under the Pressure Equipment Directive.
Procedural instructions and risk assessment for maintenance work on wind turbines.
easyCE supports in the development of procedural instructions and risk assessment for maintenance work on gearbox oil changes in wind turbines. Due to the elevated workplace, specific challenges in maintenance needed to be considered. For instance, special emphasis was placed on ensuring the personnel's fall protection and the proper use of ground equipment during oil filling.
