CE project preparation done! With easyCE expert support.
Give your CE project a strong start. This checklist brings together the product information, drawings and supporting records our experts use for product analysis, risk assessment and operating instructions. We review what you already have, identify what is missing and turn the information into clear, structured conformity documentation.

DoC ready to sign!
We prepare the declaration your product needs, ready for the responsible signatory.
Risk assessment completed!
We identify hazards, assess the risks and define the protective measures your product needs.
Requirements identified!
We identify applicable legislation and standards and assess your product against the relevant requirements.
Technical documentation prepared!
We compile the technical documentation and write clear, practical operating instructions.
Ready for CE marking!
We complete the agreed assessment work and clarify the final steps for signing the declaration and affixing CE marking.
Use this as a preparation guide, not a fixed list of legal requirements. A tick shows where an item is typically useful; the exact information needed depends on your product and the agreed project scope. We will clarify any missing or inapplicable items with your team.
