CE conformity for Robotic palletizing system

For Robotic palletizing system, the applicable CE scope is determined from intended use, energy sources, safety architecture and target market. The risk assessment, technical file, testing and conformity route must be verified against the actual model.

CE conformity for Robotic palletizing system — Product-specific conformity guide
The main modulesRobot, holder, product input, pallet magazine, stack and full pallet output
Load to be movedMultiple products based on sheets, bags, cases, cans, plates or layers
Protected interfacesTransfer openings, sensing press, locked door, fence and vehicle delivery area
Critical interventionsFaulty packaging, falling product, pallet trapping, manual re-routing and equipment maintenance
Direct response to the scope

CE conformity for Robotic palletizing system — Define the product boundary first

The palleting robot usually carries the product above the shoulder level and changes the geometry of movement throughout the growing stack cycle. The collar, bag, canister or plate falling from the pallet can reach beyond the protective fence; the nominal access beam of the robot arm alone is not the safety limit.

In the empty pallet magazine, the separating arms form elevating or chain transfer compression zones. The manual adjustment may be required when the pallet is broken or when the two pallets come together. The procedure should cover all parts of the system, including the access door, the keyed transfer opening, safe mechanical hold, and the procedure that prevents the inside person from being exposed to unexpected turnaround by reinstalling from the outside.

The product's input and full pallet output openings create a constant gap in the protective environment. Tunnel, temporary sensing compression (muting) sensors, a separating door or a space scanner solution should prevent the person from entering without being detected while allowing the load to pass. If the forklifts or AMR delivery is a traffic collision, the incorrect position of the pallet and vehicle-cell handshake are separate interfaces; the automation signal does not replace the risk of physical collision.

Product profile

Technical features that change the evaluation

The following data shows why even models with the same product name can change the path of conformity.

Risk architecture

The main dangers to be addressed in the file

The protective, control and verification approach shall be based on the actual product cycle.

01

Load drop from the holder

The loss of vacuum, pressure or mechanical hold can leave the heavy product on the person or equipment.

02

Crush between the robot and the stack

The person entering can be caught between the growing pallet, the fixtures, and the robot.

03

Palette magazine mechanism

The separator, chain and lift creates hand-foot jamming when moving the empty pallets, requiring closed access and maintenance.

04

Human input from the transfer window

The openness through which the product passes may weaken the protection environment, testing the detection pressurization sequence, sensor layout, tunnel length and violation scenarios.

05

Resignation is overturned

The wrong line, damaged pallet or different packaging friction can cause a load to become unstable.

06

Forklift-automated interaction

The vehicle palette can be taken while the cell equipment is moving or the person can stay in the blind area, and the physical space, signal exchange and traffic order are solved together.

The conditional law matrix

When will the regulation take effect?

A single product name doesn't give the same answer for all models.

The subjectThe situationProduct-based evaluation
The machine's layoutYES, YESIn Turkey, the national compliance is confirmed on the date of the first market supply or first service of the pallet system. The security of the final order is considered. 2006/42/EC is applied in the EU/EEA, including 19 hob 2027; for the pallet system from 20 hob 2027 (EU) 2023/1230.
EMCIT 'S A MESS .EMC scope is assessed in terms of the intended environment; driver and communication patterns affect test requirements.
LVDNO , NOT AT ALL .The LVD is not applied to machinery as a separate directive; electrical safety objectives are met within the scope of machinery legislation.
PEDIT 'S A MESS .The pneumatic holder alone does not produce PED coverage; the condition of the relevant component is checked if there is an air tank or accumulator in certain locks.
ATEXIT 'S A MESS .The fuel sources of the robot, engine and holder are also assessed in areas where flour, sugar, chemical powders or solvent products are present.
Mobile device interfaceIT 'S A MESS .If the AMR/AGV or forklifts bring pallets to the cell, vehicle standard, traffic risk and safe handshake are addressed in the final settlement.

Standard and verification approach

  • EN ISO 10218-1: The robot is evaluated for safety characteristics at the manufacturer level; the harmonisation status of the current printing used is confirmed in the project history.
  • EN ISO 10218-2: It is used for pallet cell integration, access, working modes and validation; validation is also checked.
  • EN ISO 12100: The robot systematizes the common risks of pallet magazine, transfer, holder and operator interference.
  • EN ISO 13855: It supports the arrangement of the sensing at the transfer apertures according to the measured position and approach characteristics.
  • The following is the list of the countries of the European Union:: Cell fence is used in the design principles of mechanical protections in doors and pallet passages.
  • The following is the list of the countries of the European Union:: The detection is calculated and verified in the appropriate manner for the functions of compressing, door, load holding, safe positioning and vehicle interface.
  • EN 60204-1: When the coverage conformity of electrical equipment is confirmed, it is applied to circuits, protection and testing; it is not unnecessarily assigned to each system.
Important distinction

CE conformity for Robotic palletizing system — Product conformity is a separate study.

ISO management system certification does not replace product-specific risk analysis, test evidence and compliance file.

The compliance work plan

In what order will the technical preparation proceed?

Not identifying the product-pallet recipe

Package size, mass, surface, pallet type, stack height, turnover and failure of the product are recorded.

Cell flow analysis

Product entry, empty pallet feeding, stacking, full exit, forklift or AMR delivery and human intervention are mapped.

Protection and function design

Fence, door, tunnel, sensing press, holder tracking, safe movement, re-installation and pallet mechanism locks are configured.

Confirmation of the most negative status

Heavy load, vacuum-pressure loss, faulty pallet, sensor violation, position, mode and vehicle interface scenarios are tested.

Delivery and prescription management

Licensed products, stacking rules, debugging, program changes and re-test conditions are completed in the technical file.

Product records to search for in the technical file

  • Cell and transfer layout drawings
  • Product- pallet- class prescription limits
  • Robot and holder load accounts
  • Risk assessment
  • Electrical and pneumatic safety schemes
  • Temporary protection suppression and security function accounts
  • Standing, loss of load and violation test reports
  • Tool interface documents with pallet magazine
  • Error correction and manual rearrangement instructions
  • In Turkey, 2006/42/AT requires an AT Statement of Conformity in the palleting file. For palleting, the EU/AEA includes 2006/42/EC on 19 hob 2027; the AT/EC Statement of Conformity is used in the palleting record. This palleting system passes into the EU Statement of Conformity from 20 hob 2027 (EU) 2023/1230.

They 're the entries for a healthy offer .

  • Product type, size and mass range
  • Palette size and stack recipes
  • Configuration of the robot and the gripper
  • Product-palette input and output equipment
  • Fence, door, sensing press and sensor arrangement
  • Forklift, AMR or AGV interface
  • Existing software, analysis and test records

The variety of the recipe, the technology of the holder, the transfer openings, the vehicle interaction and field verification determine the actual scope of the work.

Frequently Asked Questions

CE conformity for Robotic palletizing system — Technical answers about

If there were a vacuum sensor, would the risk of product falling be solved?

The position of the sensor, the time of detection of the failure, the load held, the loss of energy and the robot's response must be confirmed.

Can the detection be temporarily suppressed in pallet transit?

This function can only be used if the sensor sequence, time, direction, and error response that distinguishes material passage is designed and verified by violation attempts.

Is the size of the different shell just to add a new prescription?

Load control, grip, drop area, stability of the stack, and robot movement can vary, and risk and affected tests are updated without prescription.

Can the operator who goes in lock on the outside?

Escape, personal lockdown, or asset control that prevents staying inside is provided as a risk result; re-installation from the outside is not a safe solution in itself.

Can the forklifts work as they approach the cell?

If physical separation, pallet delivery location and safe handshake are confirmed, regional operation may be possible.

Can we count the pallet magazine as a separate machine?

If the shared function and control are connected to the cell even if provided separately, the interface risks are included in the final system assessment; the document limit is determined according to functional integrity.
