Audit by Notified body Steps to CE marking according
to BS EN 1090-1
Choose the execution class
1. Understanding the requirements
and develop necessary documents
Write FPC documentation/templates:
EN 1090-1, EN 1090-2 and ISO 3834-3
- covered by our FPC documentation
Internal activities
Make sure EVERYONE reads the
working instructions specific to
their work and watches the
YouTube tutorials
Make sure everyone understands
the day-to-day process required for
CE marking - this can be done by
follow the working instructions
2. Implementation
Other activities - ready templates in

3. Maintenance and verification of
functionality - ready made checklist
with ”yes” and ”no” questions that
cover all the requirements.
