Ensuring global market access for OEMs and Equipment
OEMs must meet stringent regulatory and quality standards to ensure product reliability and legal access to market. Certification and compliance not only enhance product safety but also foster trust with customers and regulatory bodies, supporting long-term business growth.
OEMs and equipment manufacturers operate in highly regulated industries where compliance is not optional but essential for legal market access and customer trust. From machinery and industrial equipment to structural components, manufacturers must meet various safety, quality, and environmental regulations to ensure acceptance in global markets.
One key element of compliance is obtaining certifications such as CE Marking and ISO 9001. These certifications confirm that products meet EU regulatory requirements and international quality management standards, making them eligible for trade within Europe and other regions recognizing these standards.
For manufacturers working with pressure equipment, welding, and structural materials, compliance with PED 2014/68/EU, EN 1090, and ISO 3834 is essential. These regulations ensure that welded structures and pressure vessels meet stringent safety and durability criteria, reducing the risk of product failures or legal issues.
Additionally, adherence with ASME BPVC is often required for equipment used in international energy and industrial applications. Failure to meet these standards can result in market restrictions, product recalls, or operational liabilities for OEMs.
By collaborating with a compliance expert, manufacturers can navigate certification processes efficiently, reducing time-to-market while ensuring full regulatory alignment. Our OEM compliance solutions provide end-to-end support, from initial assessments and material testing to certification approvals and post-market surveillance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about OEM certification, compliance, and regulatory requirements for equipment manufacturers.
What is CE Marking, and why is it important for OEMs?
CE Marking indicates that a product complies with European directives on safety, health, and environmental protection. It allows products to be legally sold and distributed within the European Economic Area. For OEMs, obtaining the CE Mark is crucial for ensuring access to European markets, demonstrating product safety and performance, and meeting regulatory requirements.
Which industries require PED certification?
PED applies to manufacturers of pressure equipment, including pressure vessels, boilers, pipelines, and other pressurized equipment used in industrial and energy sectors. Compliance with PED involves different levels of approval depending on the equipment’s type, volume, and pressure, and can include product inspections, certifications (such as CoC), or in some cases, a declaration from the OEM. The specific requirements depend on the risks associated with the product, and not all products require full certification. For certain lower-risk products, a declaration of conformity (DoC) may suffice.
What is ISO 9001, and how does it benefit OEMs?
ISO 9001 is an international standard that sets out the criteria for a quality management system (QMS). It helps manufacturers establish a structured approach to improving processes, product consistency, and overall efficiency. For OEMs, achieving ISO 9001 certification demonstrates a commitment to meeting customer requirements, enhancing product quality, and fostering continuous improvement. This can lead to increased customer trust, reduced operational costs, and a competitive edge in the marketplace.
How long does the certification process take?
The timeline depends on product complexity and testing requirements, but our streamlined approach minimizes delays, ensuring faster market entry.
Can you help with welding certification for OEMs?
Yes, we assist OEMs with EN 1090 certification, ensuring that welded structural components meet safety and performance standards. Additionally, we support compliance with ISO 3834, which focuses on the quality management of welding processes, ensuring they meet international standards for consistency and reliability.
