CE CERTIFICATION
Leave a message
WE, JINRUI STONE FACTORY, HEREBY STATE THAT WE DO HAVE CE CERTIFICATION FOR YOUR STONE PRODUCTS.
CE certification for a stone factory, which is related to the Construction Products Regulation (CPR), signifies that the stone products manufactured by the factory meet specific European standards and are safe for use within the European Economic Area. This certification process involves initial type testing, factory production control, and routine testing to ensure ongoing compliance.
Key aspects of CE certification for stone factories:
Mandatory for EU Market:
CE marking is mandatory for most stone products sold within the European Union.
Harmonized Standards:
The certification process is based on harmonized European standards (hENs) specific to natural stone products.
Initial Type Testing (ITT):
This involves testing the stone's properties to ensure it meets the required standards.
Factory Production Control (FPC):
The factory must have a system in place to ensure consistent production and compliance with the standards.
Manufacturer Responsibilities:
The manufacturer is responsible for testing, implementing FPC, and issuing the Declaration of Performance.
Not a Quality Mark:
CE marking indicates conformity to standards, not necessarily a guarantee of high quality.
Notified Bodies:
Specialized organizations, called Notified Bodies, are authorized to perform certification and testing.
Declaration of Performance (DoP):
The manufacturer must issue a DoP that outlines the product's characteristics and performance.
CE Label:
The CE label, accompanied by the DoP, must be attached to the product or its packaging.
Specific steps involved in CE marking of natural stone:
Identify the relevant harmonized standard: Determine the specific standard that applies to the stone product (e.g., paving stones, wall cladding, etc.).
Initial Type Testing (ITT): Conduct testing for properties like density, water absorption, flexural strength, etc., as defined in the standard.
Implement Factory Production Control (FPC): Establish procedures to ensure consistent production and quality control.
Declaration of Performance (DoP): Prepare the DoP, stating the product's characteristics and performance based on the test results.
Apply CE Marking: Affix the CE marking to the product, along with the DoP.
Maintain ongoing control: Implement a system for periodic checks to ensure continued compliance.
By obtaining CE certification, stone factories can demonstrate compliance with European standards, enhance their credibility, and access the European market with confidence.
