ISO 45001 AUDIT AHEAD?
GET YOUR MACHINERY READY.

Establish what applies to each machine.

An ISO 45001 audit does not create a new CE marking obligation. Whether a machine needs CE marking depends on the applicable product legislation and its history. Workplace use also brings separate safety duties for the employer.

We establish the relevant requirements, review the documentation and explain what needs attention. Your action plan addresses the actual machinery findings, without assuming that every existing machine needs a new declaration or the latest standard applied retrospectively.

The review distinguishes the machine's original supply, later modifications and its current workplace use. We record the basis for each CE decision so your team can explain why a requirement applies or does not apply.

Own-use machinery needs a proper assessment too.

Machinery manufactured for your own use can fall within the Machinery Directive. Modifications and linked machines also need careful assessment, but not every alteration automatically creates a new machine. The nature of the change and the resulting risks matter.

easyCE assesses the project and documents the reasoning. Where a new conformity assessment is required, we carry out the agreed risk assessment and documentation work. Where it is not, we identify the safety and documentation actions that still need to be addressed.

We look at changes to operating limits, controls, protective measures and connections to other equipment. The assessment records which existing evidence remains usable and which parts need further review.

Give your team a clear, usable record of machinery compliance.

A structured equipment register connects each machine with its identification, history, responsibilities and available documents. Depending on the equipment, the evidence may include instructions, declarations, risk assessments, maintenance records and training records.

We organise the machinery CE evidence and prepare missing technical documents within the agreed scope. Product conformity documentation and workplace risk assessments serve different purposes. We keep them connected without treating one as a substitute for the other.

We assign each document to the relevant machine and mark revisions, responsible contacts and unresolved points. This gives your team a clear record to update after repairs, modifications or new evidence.

Build on the documentation you already have.

Missing or inconsistent records do not always mean starting again. We review the existing evidence against the requirements relevant to the machine and its history, then complete or revise the documents that need attention.

The work may include a risk assessment, revised instructions or an updated declaration where justified. We explain any physical safety measures that must accompany the paperwork. Documentation alone does not remove a technical hazard.

We check that instructions, drawings and assessment records refer to the same machine configuration. Revised documents have clear version references, so your team can distinguish the current record from superseded material.

Complete conformity assessment for your in-house machinery.

Where your machine requires a full conformity assessment, easyCE carries out the agreed process. We assess risks, research applicable requirements, prepare technical documentation and instructions, and address the required machinery marking information.

We prepare your declaration of conformity ready to sign once the necessary conformity work and safety measures have been completed. Under the Machinery Directive this is an EC declaration of conformity. The manufacturer remains responsible for declaring conformity and affixing the CE marking.

At handover, we explain how the declaration relates to the machine and the supporting technical file. Your team receives a structured document set with clear references for future checks, changes and audit questions.

Make machinery compliance part of the way you work.

easyCE helps you establish a consistent process for developing, purchasing and modifying machinery. We clarify responsibilities, prepare useful templates and checklists, and train your team on the CE decisions they need to make.

That gives future projects a clear starting point and keeps evidence easier to find. Your organisation manages the machinery work systematically, with fewer last-minute documentation gaps before the next audit.

We define review and handover steps for supplier documents, machine modifications and completed CE work. Named responsibilities and consistent document references make it clear who maintains each record and where the evidence is kept.
