Assumption of legal risks connected to CE marking from the manufacturers, integrators and operators of industrial machinery, production lines or robot systems based on expert evaluations. As the declaration of conformity will be signed by the QTICS Group, you will bear no related risks. 

The requirements for the CE marking of machinery, production lines and robotic systems are contained in several legislations (directives, regulations) and hundreds of standards. 

The fulfilment of the requirements and the obtaining of the CE marking is the prerequisite of placing these “products” on the EU market and commissioning them.  

The CE marking must be acquired by the manufacturer, the integrator or in certain cases the operator of the equipment if they bear the manufacturers’ liability, as in the case of significant modifications. In such cases, they must issue the declaration of conformity, which involves legal responsibility for the CE marking of the equipment.
