Who is responsible for the CE marking of machinery and installations?

The responsibility for placing machinery and installations on the market and/or put them in use with a CE marking, lies with the manufacturer or to the importer of the machinery/installation.

The manufacturer or the importer is basically responsible for the certification of machineries and installations and for ensuring the conformity of the machinery/installation with the essential safety requirements (of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EU, in particular). Furthermore, the manufacturer or the importer compiles technical documentation, containing various relevant documents for the purpose of determining the conformity of the machinery (e.g., by market surveillance authorities).
