Cranes CE

Hoisting Machinery includes such as tower crane、self-propelled crane、mast crane、Grabbing crane, etc. Let us follow the CE certification body of engineering machinery to have a brief introduction.
 
 CE certification mark requirements:
* The CE mark must be affixed to a prominent position on the product and should be legible and difficult to smear. Usually, the CE mark is affixed to the product or its parameter label；If the CE mark cannot be directly attached to the product, it can be affixed to the product packaging or the attached documents, but the reason why the CE mark cannot be attached to the product is required.
* The minimum height of the CE mark shall not be less than 5 mm, and if it is reduced or enlarged, it shall be proportionate.
* The Notified Body (NB) may participate in the conformity assessment activities of the design, production or entire (including design and production) phases depending on the conformity assessment procedures used. If NB is involved in the conformity assessment process at the production stage, the NB number should be placed after the CE mark. If more than one NB participates in the conformity assessment of the production phase, there will be several numbers after the CE mark.
* The CE mark and its NB number can also be affixed in other countries, ie if the product is a conformity assessment activity carried out in the country by a notified body in Europe, the CE mark can be affixed in this country.
