CE Marking Authority
Christopher Pickup
CE Marking Authority specialising in CE and UKCA Certification
In my first year as an entrepreneur, I grew my client list, paid all the bills and survived covid. Sound a bit intense? That’s just life. It’s always changing, and no matter how prepared you think you are, especially in business, there will always be a curveball.
We can all agree that the first 365 days can be the most frightening. I'm coming up to that milestone, and I can say it is every bit the roller coaster that other entrepreneurs describe. Here's what I learned.
Launching a business, assessing market opportunities, aligning the right team and figuring out how to execute properly is challenging enough; add the fear of the unknown and financial insecurity, covid and you have a recipe for a heap of stress. However, I think I have come up with the right model but would appreciate your feedback if you have the time.
CE Marking Authority’ Business Principles are the cornerstone on which all of our activity rests. They are held to be fundamental, overarching beliefs and behaviors that guide our decisions and allow us to embody the CE Marking Authority brand in everything we do. Our values are; Integrity, Respect, Health and Safety, Quality, Leadership, and Sustainability.
The CE Marking Authority accreditation and reputation as an independent third-party conformity assessment provider depend on accurate, documents and records, that is why we give our customers a compliance report which identifies the statutory requirements and applied standards, and how they have met the essential safety requirements of the regulations which apply to the product. If we find any areas of non-compliance we note these in the report and inform the customer how to close them out. We also give our customers copies of the design risk assessment conducted and a clause by clause assessment showing how the manufacturer has met each requirement (not just a tick box) and provide you a draft Declaration of Conformity for you to sign. These documents are then your evidence that your product applies to the required legislation.
The CE Marking Authority retains all business records as part of a service to our customers, while the information they contain serves a business need, or is required by law or for accreditation. A copy of these documents can be obtained from the CE Marking Authority if the customer for whatever reason misplaces their technical documentation.
