Machine Safety & CE Compliance
We design and implement safety systems for industrial machines and robotic cells — from risk assessment and perimeter guarding to safety PLC and CE compliance support. Our work follows the applicable standards (EN ISO 12100, EN ISO 13849, EN ISO 10218, IEC 62061) and delivers solutions that meet the required Performance Level without hurting throughput or usability. We cover both new machines and existing equipment (safety retrofit), including technical file and declaration of conformity updates where required.
The problem we solve
Machines with no documented risk assessment, missing or bypassed safety circuits, legacy E-Stops without categorization, and equipment that no longer meets current Machinery Directive requirements. The result is accident risk, legal exposure and difficulty in certifying the line.
Typical applications
- Risk assessment per EN ISO 12100
- Perimeter guarding (fencing, light curtains, safety mats)
- Safety PLC (Siemens F-CPU, Pilz PNOZmulti, Sick Flexi Soft)
- Safety retrofit of existing machinery
- CE compliance process support and technical file
ENOTECH's scope
- Risk assessment and required Performance Level (PLr) determination
- Safety architecture design (circuit categories, redundancy)
- Selection and integration of safety components (SICK, Pilz, Schmersal)
- Safety PLC programming and safety-software validation
- Integration with the main PLC and HMI for diagnostics
- Technical file, operator manual and CE declaration of conformity

FAQ
Is a new CE declaration required after a retrofit?+
When the modification qualifies as substantial under the Machinery Directive, yes — the technical file is updated and a new declaration of conformity is issued.
Which standard is typically used?+
For electrical/electronic safety systems, EN ISO 13849-1 (Performance Level) or IEC 62061 (SIL), combined with EN ISO 12100 for risk assessment.
Does safety hurt productivity?+
A well-designed safety system protects operators without unnecessary stops — via muting, zoning and controlled reduced-speed modes.
Is Greek documentation provided?+
Yes — operator and maintenance manuals in Greek (and English on request).
Do you cover collaborative robots (cobots)?+
Yes — based on TS 15066 with force/pressure analysis at critical contact points.
