Trusted by leading businesses
Your role. Your CE responsibilities.
Energy system manufacturers and integrators
Energy system owners and operators
The manufacturer is responsible for the conformity of the product it places on the market. For an energy project, first define what is being supplied: individual products, an assembly of machinery or pressure equipment, or a fixed installation. The applicable obligations depend on that classification.
CE marking on individual components does not automatically establish conformity of an integrated product. Equally, not every complete energy installation requires one overall CE marking. For example, fixed installations follow specific EMC requirements without CE marking under that directive.
We define the system boundaries and interfaces, identify the applicable legislation and assess the complete product within the agreed scope. We prepare the technical documentation and, where CE marking applies, the declaration of conformity ready to sign. Installation safety, grid connection and fire protection requirements are considered separately where relevant.
Owners and operators must keep their energy systems safe and meet the applicable operating and workplace requirements. Their conformity responsibilities depend on the system, how it was supplied and whether they take on a manufacturer's role.
When several suppliers contribute to an integrated product, establish who is responsible for the overall design and conformity assessment. Building for your own use or modifying an existing system may create manufacturer obligations under the relevant legislation; this requires a case-specific assessment.
We review the system configuration, supplier documentation and proposed changes, then identify the work needed across the interfaces. For battery energy storage, applicable requirements under the Batteries Regulation must also be considered. We coordinate the agreed conformity work with the project's technical documentation, safety and protection concepts.

Successful projects. Results that speak for themselves.
CE marking and operating instructions for industrial cooling systems
easyCE supports the conformity assessment of industrial air conditioning and recooling systems, including explosion-risk assessment where relevant and preparation of the declaration of conformity ready to sign. The project includes an operating instructions template that can be adapted to individual product variants. Maintenance procedures receive particular attention because of the risk of Legionella growth.
CE marking for industrial waste heat recovery equipment
easyCE supports the conformity assessment of machinery that recovers heat from industrial processes to generate energy. The assessment considers explosion hazards where relevant. High operating pressures and temperatures make classification and assessment under the Pressure Equipment Directive a particular focus.
Risk assessment for wind turbine maintenance
easyCE develops risk assessments and working procedures for changing gearbox oil in wind turbines. The work addresses the specific challenges of working at height, including fall protection and the use of ground-based equipment when refilling the gearbox. The resulting procedures help maintenance teams plan and carry out the work safely.
CE marking and technical documentation for multi-megawatt battery storage systems
easyCE supports the development and conformity assessment of industrial battery storage systems with power ratings of several megawatts, including risk assessment, operating instructions and the wider technical documentation. The systems support the management of grid capacity.
At the time of the project, finding suitable harmonised standards for the complete system was a particular challenge. The assessment drew on relevant requirements from standards including EN 60204-1 and EN 62109, with their scope and suitability considered for the equipment concerned. The resulting documentation addresses the individual equipment and its interfaces within the complete system.
CE marking for a cavern-based hydropower plant
easyCE carries out the conformity assessment of a small hydropower plant comprising a turbine, generator, hydraulic power unit, control valves and control cabinet in a cavern. Interface analysis defines the boundaries of the machinery and distinguishes its product requirements from site-specific safety obligations. This provides a clear basis for the required conformity documentation.
CE marking for solar parasol micro-inverter systems
easyCE supports the conformity assessment of solar energy systems with integrated micro-inverters and Wi-Fi connectivity, including preparation of the declaration of conformity ready to sign. The assessment considers electrical safety under EN 62109-1. EMC work covers residential emission requirements under EN 61000-6-3 and immunity requirements under EN 61000-6-1 for the grid-connected system.
CE marking for stationary battery energy storage systems
easyCE supports the conformity assessment of stationary battery storage systems used to provide primary and secondary frequency control services, including preparation of the declaration of conformity ready to sign. The assessment considers industrial EMC immunity under EN 61000-6-2 and the system's electrical and battery-related hazards. The safety concept includes fire detection with two-detector confirmation and an automatic aerosol fire suppression system.
CE marking for small hydropower plants
easyCE supports the conformity assessment of hydropower systems, including preparation of the declaration of conformity ready to sign. Risk assessment under EN ISO 12100 addresses the integration of turbines, generators and hydraulic control systems, including the human-machine interface. The assessment also considers electrical equipment under EN 60204-1 and safe access for maintenance.

Frequently asked questions
Which legislation applies to CE marking energy systems?
The applicable rules depend on the equipment and the boundaries of the product being supplied. Relevant legislation may include the Machinery Directive, Low Voltage Directive, EMC Directive, Pressure Equipment Directive, Simple Pressure Vessels Directive or Gas Appliances Regulation.
Battery products and stationary battery energy storage systems also need assessment against the applicable Batteries Regulation requirements. Radio, ATEX and product-specific ecodesign rules may be relevant to particular designs. We determine the scope rather than assuming that every energy system falls under the same list of laws.
A fixed installation does not receive CE marking under the EMC Directive as a whole. Its apparatus and any other products within the installation may have their own CE obligations, and other applicable legislation must still be assessed.
Which types of energy equipment may require CE marking?
Relevant products include combined heat and power units, heat recovery equipment, heat pumps and chillers, photovoltaic equipment, battery storage systems, hydropower machinery and equipment used in biomass or geothermal installations.
Whether CE marking is required depends on the individual product and the applicable legislation, not simply on the energy source or the size of the site. Installation, grid connection and operational safety requirements may apply in addition.
What should manufacturers consider when assessing an energy system?
Start by defining the intended use, system boundaries, interfaces and the party responsible for the finished product. Identify the applicable legislation and standards, assess the risks and establish the evidence needed to demonstrate conformity.
easyCE carries out the agreed assessment and documentation work, coordinates tests and prepares the declaration of conformity where CE marking applies. We also identify the supplier documents, operating instructions and interface information needed for the project.
