CE and UKCA certification

CE marking documents that the product concerned complies with the requirements of one or more European directives or regulations within whose scope it falls, such as simple pressure vessels, toy safety, construction products, electrical equipment, etc. If a product bears the CE mark, it may be distributed without restriction in any EC country.

Applied to Norres Baggerman hose systems, the following applies:

1. In accordance with the definition of the EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, our products fall neither under the definition of machinery nor of a safety component. Furthermore, they are generally not products within the meaning of other regulations requiring CE marking, such as the Low Voltage Directive, the EMC Directive or the Medical Device Regulation, etc.
2. Products that do not fall under one of the EC directives listed above must not be provided with CE marking. Consequently, we are also not permitted to issue a declaration of conformity, i.e. manufacturer’s declaration.
3. Hose assemblies that fall under the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU may be affected by CE marking requirements. However, this must be assessed for each individual application, as it depends on the operating conditions.

As the operating conditions at the user’s site are outside our sphere of influence and the design variety is too extensive, no guarantee can be given for the accuracy of the information.

UKCA marking, UK Conformity Assessed, is the British conformity mark for certain products placed on the market in England, Wales and Scotland. It was introduced following the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union and replaces European CE marking in various product areas. However, CE marking continues to be recognised for some product groups. The applicable requirements depend on the relevant British legislation. Due to special regulatory arrangements, European CE rules continue to apply in part to Northern Ireland. In certain cases, UKNI marking may also be required.

Whether UKCA, UKNI or CE marking is required for a product depends on the respective product category, the intended use and the target market.
