Does a machine have to be CE approved if moved from our facility in the US to our facility in singapore?

Question

We are building a machine for use in our own facility in Singapore, and I need to know if I need to have it CE approved.

Answer 1

CE is the Canadian version of UL so no you will not need to.

Answer 2

CE is needed for importing in European Union. Probably Singapore has his set of norms relative to the equiment you are building. Better check with some local customs or technical authority. Normally a single industrial machine built for a specific job does not require a certification except the certification of the components and safety rules.

Answer 3

CE stands for "Certification Euro", or the European Union equivalent of a standards society.

The Canadians have the "Canadian Standards Association" (CSA); the United States uses "Underwriter's Laboratories" (UL).

Note that most items that meet UL approval DO NOT meet either CSA or CE requirements (basically the CSA and CE standards are more strict)!

CE marking (or certifying that a manufactured product meets the European Union standard) is only required for countries that have adopted that standard - typically, only those that are actually part of the European Union. However, Singapore may have standards requirements that differ from those you would normally manufacture to ... best to see what THEY require you to meet.

Answer 4

it will have to be CE when you take it to canada
but when you bring it to the united states it will have to be UL listed
