Purchasing certificates that can be accepted by the target market and passing relevant standards are the key requirements to guarantee customs clearance, application, and safe operation of ceramic machinery export. As a professional ceramic machinery manufacturer, Yutai has always been committed to providing customers with high-quality equipment that meets international standards. This article will explore the common ceramic machinery exports certification, helping you making better purchasing decisions.
European Market: CE Certification
CE Certification (Conformité Européenne) is a “passport” to enter the EU market and applies to most mechanical products. For ceramic machinery, such as automatic forming machines, firing kilns,etc., it is usually necessary to comply with the following EU directives:
- Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC: Ensure the safety of machinery and the health of users
- Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU: Applicable to electrical equipment with a rated voltage between 50 and 1000V
- Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EU: Requires that equipment does not generate interference or be interfered with in an electromagnetic environment
Yutai’s ceramic machinery, exported to Europe, can provide products and related documents that meet CE standards according to customer needs.
North American market: UL, CSA and OSHA-related standards
For ceramic machinery exported to the United States and Canada, the following certifications and standards are particularly important:
- UL (Underwriters Laboratories) certification: mainly for electrical safety and fire risks
- CSA (Canadian Standards Association) certification: used in Canada, emphasizing the safety of mechanical structures and electrical systems
- OSHA (US Occupational Safety and Health Administration) compliance requirements: work safety specifications for factory machinery and equipment
Although certification in the North American market is not a mandatory pass like CE, most customers and dealers still require suppliers to provide relevant compliance instructions to avoid import risks.
Middle East and African markets: SASO, G-Mark, etc.
Some Middle Eastern countries also have their certification requirements:
- SASO certification (Saudi Arabia Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization): used in Saudi Arabia, emphasizing the safety of electrical equipment and machinery
- G-Mark (Gulf Conformity Mark): used in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member countries, including the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, etc., applicable to some mechanical and electrical products
When we export ceramic machinery and equipment to Middle Eastern countries, we can assist customers in completing the preparation of materials and testing support that meet local import regulations.
Other common international standards
In addition to regional certifications, some multinational customers will also pay attention to the following international standards:
ISO 12100: General principles for mechanical safety, risk assessment and reduction guidelines
IEC standards (such as IEC 60204-1): Safety requirements for electrical systems of mechanical equipment
RoHS Directive (Restriction of Hazardous Substances): Ensure that products do not contain excessive harmful elements, especially for countries with high environmental protection requirements
Yutai fully considers the above international standard requirements in the design and manufacturing process to ensure that the equipment not only meets the customer’s production capacity needs but also guarantees safety and environmental compliance during use.
