We carry out a systematic risk assessment on your behalf, identify potential sources of danger
and develop practical solutions to minimise risk
For individual or highly complex products
Product Analysis
Detailed analysis of the individual product
Hazard Identification
Identification of all potential hazards and risks associated with the product
Risk Assessment
Evaluation and documentation of risks, including measures to minimise them
An efficient solution for product ranges
Product grouping
Products are grouped into logical categories based on shared characteristics
Group analysis
A collective risk assessment is carried out for each product group
Efficient documentation
All products within a group are covered by a single risk assessment
The obligation to carry out a risk assessment is not limited to mechanical engineering. Under the new EU General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR), which applies since the end of 2024, a systematic risk analysis is mandatory for virtually all consumer products.
Manufacturers must systematically analyse and minimise hazards. Only through this thorough assessment can the essential safety requirements be demonstrated.
We provide legally compliant, user-friendly manuals. By accurately addressing safety instructions and residual risks, we ensure that your documentation meets all current regulatory requirements.
We guide you safely through the entire CE marking process. We identify the relevant EU regulations for your product, carry out the necessary risk assessment and prepare the complete technical documentation.
A risk assessment is mandatory before a product is made available on the EU market or a machine is put into service. This applies to new designs, self-built products and significant modifications to equipment. Particularly important: the new Product Safety Regulation now extends this obligation to virtually all consumer products. This makes the risk assessment the indispensable legal basis for your declaration of conformity and proof that your product complies with current safety standards.
In principle, the manufacturer or the party acting as such (e.g. importers from non-EU countries or operators in the case of major modifications) is responsible. The task may be delegated to external experts, but overall legal responsibility remains with the party placing the product on the market.
Without a sound risk assessment, the technical documentation is incomplete. This results in the loss of marketability, may lead to heavy fines and, in the event of damage, can result in significant liability risks for the management.
The key cross-disciplinary standard is EN ISO 12100. Depending on the product, product-specific standards (C-standards) may also apply. In addition, the requirements of current EU regulations, such as the new Product Safety Regulation, must be strictly adhered to.
