CE FOR VEHICLE BODYWORK DONE!
WITH THE HELP OF EASYCE
Specificities in the conformity assessment and CE marking of vehicle bodywork & testing equipment
You need to consider these specificities:
- In addition to requirements from EU directives and regulations in the conformity assessment process, specifications from the Road Traffic Licensing Regulations and general operating permits must be met mandatorily and need to be considered in the design.
- The manufacturer must also pay attention to various aspects such as axle weight, number of axles, etc.
- easyCE also observes that additional requirements from the Hazardous Goods Transportation Regulation are often to be considered. For instance, in liquid transporters for transporting hazardous liquids, tanks must be subdivided and surge baffles need to be installed.
REFERENCE PROJECTS
CE marking and conformity assessment of a vehicle silo for the transport of bulk materials.
easyCE supports the entire conformity assessment process, including risk assessment, up to the ready-to-sign Declaration of Conformity for a horizontally operated transport silo for bulk materials of all kinds. Special considerations were necessary for user safety during the unloading process of the silo installed on the transport vehicle.
Considering: 2006/42/EG, 97/23/EG, 94/9/EG
CE marking and conformity assessment for automotive driving robots, and consideration of RoHS compliance.
easyCE supports the entire conformity assessment process, including risk assessment and RoHS considerations, up to the ready-to-sign Declaration of Conformity for driving robots. Due to specific reliability requirements, special considerations were necessary during assembly.
Considering: 2006/42/EG, 2014/30/EU, EN 349: 2008-09, EN 1037: 2008-11, EN ISO 12100: 2011-08, EN ISO 13849-1/2
CE conformity assessment of tractor attachments in agriculture and forestry.
easyCE supports the entire conformity assessment process, including risk assessment, up to the ready-to-sign Declaration of Conformity for tractor attachments. The high mobility of the product at and above head height necessitated particularly high requirements for user safety. easyCE considered the on-site data collection for life phases such as 'assembly,' 'operation,' and 'maintenance' on comparable machines in operation. Overall, a high potential for danger was to be considered due to highly mobile, heavy, and unwieldy components.
Considering: 2006/42/EG, 2014/30/EU, 2014/68/EU, DIN EN 12525, EN ISO 14982, DIN EN 16590-2

FAQ
After which directives do vehicle bodyworks and testing equipment often require CE marking?
easyCE observes that vehicle bodyworks and vehicle testing equipment frequently fall within the scope of the following directives and regulations:
Why do vehicle bodyworks fall within the scope of the Machinery Directive and need to bear a CE marking?
Vehicle bodyworks commonly utilize the vehicle engine as their propulsion system. According to the Machinery Directive, machines utilizing a propulsion system external to the machine also fall within its scope.
As a manufacturer of vehicle bodies and test equipment, what do I have to take into account for the conformity assessment and CE labelling?
easyCE will consider your product in 2 parts: the vehicle body and the carrier vehicle. easyCE will be happy to help you identify the harmonised standards that apply to the vehicle body. Our experts will also be happy to help you with the subsequent steps of product analysis and risk assessment. In addition to these CE-relevant requirements of the conformity assessment procedure, specifications for the general type approval and the road traffic licensing regulations of the carrier vehicle must also be met.
