You must take this into account when CE marking your energy system
Manufacturers always have the responsibility of CE marking
Regardless of whether in an industrial or private environment, operators may only use CE-marked energy systems. In a private environment, systems are usually supplied from a single source, which means that the manufacturer is responsible for the CE marking. In an industrial environment, the manufacturer is also responsible for ensuring that only compliant and CE-marked products are placed on the market. If a manufacturer only supplies individual components for an overall system, only these must be CE-marked. The entire system must be marked by the integrator or the operator as general contractor (GU). In this case, we advise manufacturers to coordinate expectations regarding responsibility for CE marking with the system operator at an early stage and to provide all necessary documentation so that a suitable solution for assessing conformity can be found.
The provision of complete documentation is particularly necessary in order to comprehensively illustrate the evidence of plant safety, measurement concepts and various protection concepts such as fire protection concepts.
The experts at easyCE are available to answer any questions you may have regarding conformity and will be happy to assist you.
Operators always have the CE certification obligation, especially in industrial environments
Regardless of whether in an industrial or private environment, operators may only use energy systems that are CE-marked. In an industrial environment, larger energy systems are usually custom-made and are not supplied by a single manufacturer, but are planned and built jointly by several manufacturers. This means that none of the individual manufacturers or suppliers can carry out the conformity assessment procedure across interfaces and declare conformity for the entire system. The operator as general contractor (GC) becomes the manufacturer of the entire system and must declare conformity and affix the CE mark.
When making adjustments to entire systems, the operator is faced with the question of whether this has been a "significant change". If this is the case, the system operator also becomes the manufacturer and assumes the CE marking obligation for his system. This task is often carried out with the support of a project office, which has the necessary expertise to assess the conformity of the converted system. Since this is often critical infrastructure, in addition to the conformity assessment, system safety, measurement concepts and various protection concepts such as a fire protection concept are of great importance. Conformity must be demonstrated to authorities and inspectors and also during project acceptance. We therefore recommend that the conformity assessment be carried out early and in parallel with construction when planning an energy system.
The experts at easyCE are available to answer any questions you may have regarding conformity and will be happy to assist you.

Reference projects
Conformity assessment and CE marking of air conditioning systems in industrial plants and cooling plants, as well as preparation of operating instructions
easyCE supports the entire conformity assessment procedure including risk assessment according to ATEX up to the declaration of conformity ready for signature for air conditioning systems in industrial plants and air conditioning systems for recooling. Particular attention was given to the creation of a basic operating manual as a template for adaptation to special product variants. Due to the risk of legionella formation, the maintenance procedures had to be given special consideration in the risk assessment.
Considers, among others: 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 machines for generating energy by recovering heat from industrial plants
easyCE supports the entire conformity assessment procedure including risk assessment according to ATEX for a combined heat and power plant-type machine. Since high pressures and temperatures arise when using the machine, special focus was placed on the assessment of the technical framework conditions under the Pressure Equipment Directive.
Procedure and risk assessment for maintenance work on wind turbines
easyCE supports the development of the procedural instructions and risk assessment for maintenance work when changing the gearbox oil in wind turbines. The high-altitude workplace meant that special challenges had to be taken into account during maintenance. For example, special focus had to be placed on the fall protection of the personnel and the proper use of the ground equipment when filling the oil.
Conformity assessment, CE marking and technical documentation for multi-megawatt industrial battery storage systems
easyCE accompanies the development process and carries out the entire conformity assessment for CE marking, including risk assessment for industrial battery storage systems of several megawatts for capacity control of grid utilization. easyCE also creates the operating instructions and other technical documentation for the battery storage system.
A particular challenge with the CE marking of battery storage systems is the lack of suitable harmonized standards. Therefore, various regulations were combined to comprehensively consider the system. To do this, the experts at easyCE were able to identify particularly applicable rules from the harmonized standards for photovoltaic systems. For example, standards such as EN 60204-1 and EN 62109 were used from the Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU). The experts at easyCE support you in the development of your system regardless of size and capacity. This means that small systems for private use as well as large systems used with the low-voltage network can be considered.
