CE conformity for Press brake

For Press brake, 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 Press brake — Define the product boundary first

The pressure force of the abdomen, bend length, stroke, throat depth, top board speed, rear suspension axles, and assembly fastening system are the basis of product definition. The production of large panels that should be fed by robots with manual short turns is not the same access model. The manufacturer must explain which assembly family and part size will be used safely. The foot pedal functions, the speed of operation with fast approach, and the programmed movement of the rear suspension are linked to the control requirement.

The front protection system must also be closed when monitoring the pattern point. The function of temporary muting or blanking of selected beams of the optical device should not unnecessarily reduce the safety level if used due to curvature geometry. The measured stand time may be affected by hydraulic and mechanical changes over time; periodic control intervals are specified in the maintenance program.

The mold, backrest and command form are taken together in the abkant configuration offered to the market. In the EU/AEA the abkant press is valid until the first supply or first service of the abkant press is on the market on 19 hob 2027. The first event occurs from 20 hob 2027 (EU) 2023/1230 is applied; national compliance with 2006/42/AT is also verified in Turkey. The abkant system requires the EMC assessment of the abkant system. EN 60204-1 is directed to the electrical equipment, but does not prove the safety of the abkant press. When selecting a single type of product, the EU harmonisation is checked by day-pressure.

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.

OperationHand-held, automatic feeding or robotic bending
Protecting systemLaser protection, light curtain, side-to-side protective and safe speed

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

Squeezing between shapes

The lower movement of the upper team leaves a very short time for intervention for the hand and finger, and the frontal protection is confirmed.

02

The movement of the part

The large sac can rise and strike the operator as it bends; support and work area are planned.

03

Backward supporting movement

The programmed support fingers create a compression in the back area, protecting the environment's access.

04

Team drop

Heavy equipment that is incorrectly or incorrectly attached may fall during change; the method of holding and transportation is defined.

05

Hydraulic and gravitational energy

Even if power is cut off, it can move against the upper board or the pressure-pressure circuit maintenance personnel.

The conditional law matrix

When will the regulation take effect?

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

Standard and verification approach

  • The following is the list of the countries of the European Union:: As of August 2026, it is included in the harmonised list EN 12622:2009+A1:2013. ISO 6909:2026 has been published but is not in harmonised standard status EN/OJEU.
  • EN ISO 12100: It links the shift, team change and maintenance tasks to the process of systematic risk reduction.
  • EN 60204-1: It helps to verify the overall performance of the electrical equipment, pedals and control circuits.
  • EN ISO 13849-1/-2: Valves are used to design and verify the performance of optical protective and stop functions.
  • EN ISO 13855: It supports the determination of the safe distance of the sensing equipment based on the positioning performance.
Important distinction

CE conformity for Press brake — 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 defining the curve scenario

The size of the part, the grip, the gear, the speed and the programmed grip movement are written to the model boundary.

Select the protection concept

Optical, physical and control measures for front, side and rear access are designed to be compatible with each other.

Measuring the position

The duration of the stand in the most adverse working conditions is linked to the safe distance calculation and maintenance period.

Verify the functions

The pedal is tested with recorded error scenarios, mode selection, valve diagnosis, restart approval and energy return.

Publishing files and tags

Once the team limit, control reports and instructions are completed, a serial label with a statement is prepared.

Product records to search for in the technical file

  • Abkant model and capacity matrix
  • Drawings of the body, mold and protective settings
  • Risk analysis for the curve tasks
  • Electrical and hydraulic circuit diagrams
  • Calculate and verify security function
  • Safe distance report with standby time
  • Team change and maintenance instructions
  • The EU Statement of Compliance is prepared for the Abkant press during the period of the Directive. During the period of regulation the EU Statement of Compliance is prepared for the Abkant press.

They 're the entries for a healthy offer .

  • Pressure and bend length
  • Stroke and approach-operation speeds
  • CNC and back support axes
  • Brand-model of front-end protector
  • Side and back protective drawings
  • Hydraulic scheme and valve architecture
  • Number of models, current testing and target market

The availability of the protective device alone does not reduce the work; the validation scope is priced based on the correct position, stand time, valve architecture and operating modes.

Frequently Asked Questions

CE conformity for Press brake — Technical answers about

In which jurisdictions is the approved method of organization considered?

Special category assessment is performed for the substrate that the operator loads or unloads, cold metal processing and moving parts that provide a speed of over 30 mm/s with a stroke of over 6 mm. The module of the selected period determines whether the standard covers all requirements and whether the third party participation.

Can the laser shield be used on every bend?

The settings may vary due to the geometry and equipment of the part. Temporary compression (muting) must be verified within the limits defined by the manufacturer, safe speed and positioning.

Do you measure the time of the trial once?

The first verification is entered into the file; the manufacturer specifies the method of periodic control and the limit in the instruction as the hydraulic and mechanical performance may vary.

Is it enough to put a light curtain on the second hand lens?

The distance, valve and control reliability, side-to-side access and operating modes of the device will not yield sufficient results without being examined together.

Do the teams fit into the CE?

The equipment limits affecting the safe use of the machine are in the technical file; the own legislative status of the interchangeable equipment can also be assessed.

If the bending speed changes, will the posture be updated?

The maximum negative stand time should be re-measured and the safe distance calculation updated when the approach or operating speed, valve behaviour or load changes affecting the protection distance.
