Choosing machinery CE technical support and assessment bodies
Separate product consultancy, testing and any legally required notified-body assessment when comparing machinery CE providers.
Compare defined technical work
Ask a provider to identify the deliverables: machine-boundary review, risk-assessment support, drawing checks, test planning or technical-file coordination. Product-specific support is distinct from designing a client’s management system; a management-system certificate does not authorise machinery type-examination.
Name the manufacturer’s design owner and the person responsible for approving protective measures. Specify access to the actual machine and revision-controlled records. Kayra’s role is limited to the agreed technical preparation and coordination, without transferring the manufacturer’s legal responsibility.
Verify any notified-body assignment
If the selected Directive Article 12 route needs a notified body, verify its live NANDO entry for machinery category and procedure. Check the legal entity signing the contract and report, rather than relying on an accreditation logo or a laboratory’s unrelated scope.
A hypothetical quotation offers a “CE certificate” for a manually loaded press without reviewing its category, standards coverage or protective controls. Request that missing assessment first; a voluntary paper cannot replace the required conformity procedure.
Reject certificate-only proposals
Compare laboratory tests and body assessment as separate tasks, including samples, travel, redesign and retesting. Clarify who issues each output and how unresolved findings are closed. A consultant’s file review is not a notified-body certificate.
For supply from 20 January 2027, recheck Regulation 2023/1230 Article 25 and Annex I rather than carrying a Directive appointment forward by assumption. Neither consultancy nor a favourable preliminary review guarantees a conformity decision or public-authority acceptance.
