VALIDATION, CE COMPLIANCE, APPROVAL, CERTIFICATION

The course at a glance

This classroom is designed to teach the differences between validations, CE compliance, approvals and certification in regard to stage machinery. You will learn what each one is, what’s required and what you can/can’t do. The course will explore how validations and approvals can concur to support the procedure, which process needs to be carried out and what documentation is normally produced.

During the course, you will learn how to draft a technical file checklist and how to define and carry out relevant assessments, tests and safety guidelines.

The course explores the fundamentals of presumption of CE compliance, the difference between complete and partly completed machinery, declarations and marking. You will navigate through the entire compliance process and by the end of the course gain a solid understanding of the difference between approvals, certifications and conformity.
