Eurotech Also Providing CE Mark Certification On Construction Products CPR (Construction products regulations) any requirement for this you can contact to Mr. Puneet Sharma E-mail: CE.Marking.Certification@Gmail.Com
For the construction
industry is facing one of the most significant changes for a decade a
CE Marking of construction products becomes mandatory in all EU
member states and throughout the European Economic Area but what is
CE Marking well it demonstrates compliance with the appropriate
manufacturing standards for product most of us will be familiar with
the symbol because it has been a requirement for many years on
products such as toys and electrical goods sold in the European Union
CE Marking is part of the new approach direct is introduced by the
European a community back in the nineteen eighties to make sure that
or products satisfied certain common levels above health and safety and standards in terms
of construction for starting construction with the construction
products directive with introduced in and that was actually changed
to weigh regulation in the research into regulations because the
director was it Monday treat all Member States assert member states
which didn't see the directives action Monday trip so in the
directive changed to regulation.
Which makes earmarking
monetary everywhere in the european community most famous will be
familiar with CE marking for products what's new is the European
Union's construction products regulation now requires fabricated
elements and systems to be CE marked even if they have been made from
products that have already bean CE marked two dates are important to
everyone involved since denied the first clients designers specifiers
contractors and specialist subcontractors have had to comply with the
new laws when it comes to products and from the first of July
fabricated steel work has to be CE marked we've been as a business so
we have the dates for a number of years we delivered its at least
three projects to CE mark in we currently tendering work which
require CE Marking and obviously this is all being driven by the July
dative where it becomes legislation the coming of CE Marking for both
products and fabricated steel work has been well trial by amongst
others the BCS a so it should already be part of the industry's
thinking to focus the mind the regulations are covered by criminal
law which means that failure to comply with the CE Marking
legislation can lead to fines and even imprisonment I'm its affect
how we procuring material
We've got to get it
from sources that a CE mark that's the first thing and the same for
bolts it's changed how we look at projects at the tender stage and
terms of identifying specific welding requirements and it's changed
how we control the welding in the factory and its change the way we
talk to our clients as well because in some cases we are educating
our clients about CE Marking of course some in the industry si CE
Marking as another burden it does increase costs initially in terms
of money time and manpower but there is a definite benefit CE Marking
provides an opportunity to review systems manufacturing equipment and
the skills a personnel which can help firms improve quality in the
way they do business which can lead to cost savings in the longer
term CE Marking is actually part like you care law now so it's
something that they must actually carry out but apart from that does
actually have commercial vans just companies it increases both the
the quality of the product it make sure that so the people actually
manufacture the product a competent a knowledge about the things are
actually doing so CE Marking is here it's mandatory and it can be
turned to your advantage want them does it actually mean for
fabricated steel work it's quite an in-depth implementation process
because it's focused obviously on on welding there's something
specific requirements not are over and above what I guess standard
fabrication companies use to traceability is is much more stringent
I'm there's a bias towards technical reviews at the front of projects
so you actually know what you're dealing with how you control the
consumables the quality of the welds increases depending on what
execution class you work in CE Marking so yeah there's quite a lot
of differences all engineers contractors and steel work contractors
should be working to specifications that include where appropriate
CE marked products
companies have had many years to actually get to grips with CE
Marking to get to grips with CE marking for that particular products
in terms the a companies like Tata Steel there are already see
marking the sex deal sections and have been for some considerable
time fabricated steel work doesn't come managing till the st July but
BCS a and its members being putting in place the necessary systems a
CE mark for some considerable time so they should be well on the way
to see marking now it's not just a piece is a member's others to a
contract is also be wet pussy marking for some considerable time as
we've heard CE Marking doesn't and that the product now extends to
what's made from the products.
If you modify a product
that has already been CE marked all place one on the market under
your own name then you have to have it CE marked in its new film CE
Marking applies throughout the whole the supply chain from the
manufacturer through the distributor to the importer also engineers
and specifies have certain
obligations when it comes to fabricated steel work the manufacturer
has to put in place systems to comply with certain standards to make
sure its manufacturing the products the right quality the
distributors to make sure that he's actually doing nothing to change
those characteristics and impose a gonna make sure that when the
importing products into the European market they too will see him a
lot in the correct way for engineers and specifiers they've got what
you specify the right see more product and make sure that you
characteristics before so the product meets their requirements for
any construction project it is the engine is responsibility to
specify the required quality a fabrication or execution class as well
as the right CE marked products and simple guides is available
contracts were fabricated structural steelworks should also include
the obligations imposed by CE Marking standard forms are available
such as ACE marking version of the National structural steelworks
specification for buildings and the model project specification for
bridges clients and main contractors also have responsibilities under
the Construction Products regulation namely to appoint a steel were
contracted with CE Marking accreditation BCS a has made CE Marking
compliance a condition that membership after July so simply
selecting a BCS a member will ensure compliance with the regulations
but how does this still work contractor get certified getting
certified is fairly straightforward the manufacturer in this case the
steel contractor knees to worship put in place a factory production
control system butts in line with the actual publication standard
having done that's he also needs to make sure that he has in place
the right personnel.
Who got the right
knowledge incompetence and in particular for welding that means
putting in place a responsible welding coordinator that person is
to demonstrate his competence and knowledge to a certification body
its meticulous certification will call the notified body once the
actual still contract has these things in place he calls in the
notified body he watches says the system's assess the factor digital
system assess the knowledge or responsible in quarter to make sure
they comply with the standard and is to do comply with a standard the
notified body will issue a certificate which allows to contract is
products well the obvious benefit I guess is the commercial side
where we've been able as a business to talk to clients and tender for
job stuff have a CE Marking requirement so that puts is at the
forefront love but process really from an operational point of view
we've seen improve quality reduced NCR's that's a welding quality
overall just in general the control around welding is increased
significantly so it's fairly straightforward can be time-consuming
they can take care between six months and months get the systems in
place improper certified so my advice to most to contract is is start
now CE Marking is already a fact of life for most this and because
the steel industry has a well-developed supply chain implementing the
new regulations across the European Union and specifically in the UK
is not a problem in fact product suppliers already see marking as are
many steel work contractors because the steel industry in the UK has
been well prepared for the advent of CE Marking there will be no
disruption and supply of steel sections structural bolts welding
consumables and fabricated steel when it comes in to Fox quality as
well as high standards and production construction and design has
always been important to the industry CE Marking makes that
commitment even more visible the point is to make it work for you
nice blog !! i was looking for blogs related of ce mark certification . then i found this blog, this is really nice and interested to read. thanks to author for sharing this type of information.
