07 DOCUMENTATION –
THE FOUNDATION FOR
LEGAL COMPLIANCE
Documentation is one of the most critical steps in the CE process and forms the basis for the Declaration of Conformity. In this phase, all relevant documents—such as risk assessments, validation reports, and technical specifications—are compiled, reviewed, and finalized. The goal is to create complete and consistent documentation that fully complies with all applicable standards and directives.
With Wieland as your partner, you can ensure that your documentation meets the highest legal and normative standards—leaving no gaps.

YOUR ORIENTATION
IN THE CE PROCESS
You are currently at Step 07: Documentation.
In this step, the results of all preceding phases are compiled and reviewed to establish a solid foundation for a legally compliant CE Declaration of Conformity.
To keep an overview of the entire CE process, you’ll find the summary here:
01 Research
Identify all applicable standards, directives, and legal requirements for your machine type – the foundation for a legally secure and smooth CE process.
02 Risk Assessment
Evaluate all potential hazards throughout the machine’s lifecycle according to EN ISO 12100 and lay the groundwork for a sound safety concept.
04 Safety Engineering
Bring your safety concept to life with well-designed technology and develop standards-compliant safety software – for a safe and productive machine.
03 Safety Concept
Derive specific protective measures based on the risk assessment – compliant with EN ISO 13849-1 and tailored to your operational needs.
05 Verification
Verify the implementation of protective measures in line with EN ISO 13849-1 – especially with regard to the required performance level.
07 Documentation
Ensure that all records – from risk assessment to validation – are complete, consistent, and CE-compliant.
09 Inspection
Conduct regular inspections to ensure the functionality of your safety measures throughout the machine’s entire lifecycle.
06 Validation
Test directly on the machine whether all technical safety measures function reliably and meet the specified requirements.
08 Evaluation & Final Report
Compile and confirm all relevant evidence in a final report – forming the basis for the Declaration of Conformity.
