An Introduction to CE Marking

Technical Compliance is not a luxury, it is a requirement.

Course Overview

The course will demonstrate how to create a Technical Conformance File (TCF) for a complex product which must comply with multiple EU Directives to ensure that the CE Mark can be properly applied.

This course is developed for Engineers with a requirement to develop and compile TCFs for their products and will equip the attendee with appropriate knowledge to produce competent TCFs.

What is CE Marking?

Administrative Marking

CE marking is an administrative marking that indicates conformity with health, safety, and environmental protection standards for products sold within the European Economic Area. It is not a quality indicator or a certification mark.

Recognised Worldwide

The CE marking is also found on products sold outside the EEA that have been manufactured to EEA standards. This makes the CE marking recognizable worldwide even to people who are not familiar with the European Economic Area.

Product Meets EU Standards

The CE marking is the manufacturer’s declaration that the product meets EU standards for health, safety, and environmental protection.

Sold Freely Throughout Europe

The CE mark indicates that the product may be sold freely in any part of the European Economic Area, regardless of its country of origin.

  • “I am currently on my first run of ladder in management in the manufacturing industry, I found the root cause analysis session a great tool to have learnt, the learning was delivered in a confident approach, and the content was well thought out and structured and no question was overlooked, not only did I get an insight into problem solving, but a lesson in how to deliver in a confident and professional approach without being too ambiguous."

    Richard Corp, Manufacturing Team Leader, Optima Systems

  • “Tunley Engineering has delivered a thorough review of our Engineering process and performance in a very short period of time with the key steps identified that we need to take in order to move our team to the next level. Our Engineering function is critical to ensuring we deliver what our customer needs, on time and to the highest standards – our work with Tunley Engineering is part of our continuous improvement strategy for this area of our business.”

    Louise Hazel, Managing Director, IPU Group Ltd

  • “Tunley Engineering is a great way to sharpen any engineering team, whether they are part of a massive corporate structure or a smaller team. Their method of instruction strays far from the dry methods of old, in which you are simply spoken to and not engaged. With Tunley Engineering, the teaching process is much more interactive with lessons being structured more like workshops than university-style classrooms."

    Jordan Pulido, Project Engineer II, Ausco Inc

  • "We hired Tunley to help debug our engineering processes and to improve delivery time for our custom engineered systems. William Beer took the time to do a thorough survey of our existing engineering activities and was able to quickly understand the nature of our processes. He recommended changes that were easy to implement and which gave us immediate positive results."
