Frequently asked questions

Does a freelance designer also handle the CE documentation?

Often yes. Many mechanical designers also prepare the risk assessment to EN ISO 12100 alongside model and drawing and contribute to the technical documentation. Responsibility for the declaration of conformity remains with the manufacturer. State in the project whether CE experience is needed and the matching will check it too.
