02 RISK ASSESSMENT –
THE FOUNDATION FOR SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE
Risk assessment is a critical step in the CE process, where all potential hazards associated with a machine are systematically analyzed and evaluated. Risks are identified, prioritized, and corresponding mitigation measures are defined. This step lays the groundwork for developing a standards-compliant safety concept and ensures the long-term safety and efficiency of your machine.
With Wieland at your side, you can be confident that this process is carried out precisely and thoroughly.

YOUR ORIENTATION
IN THE CE PROCESS
You are currently at Step 02: Risk Assessment.
Building on the research, this is the next key step to analyze hazards and systematically assess risks. This phase is essential for developing a safety concept and ensuring your machine is implemented in compliance with applicable standards.
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.
