Tiivistelmä
The topic of my thesis is to help Rautakone, a small local metalworking company, to obtain CE marking capability. This thesis was commissioned in late 2014. My aim was to provide a framework for a successful and acceptable FPC manual and documentary procedures, and to describe the CE marking process in Finland in the English language. The material used is largely from public institutions like the European Commission, the Finnish Standards Association and the Mechanical Engineering and Metals Industry Standardization in Finland. The material was collected by desktop research. The thesis is research oriented by nature, but also resulted in an FPC manual for the commissioner.
The work began with a familiarization into the EN 1090 and other relevant standards and to the state of the company. It then continued as an independent project with the practical part of the thesis, writing the FPC manual and supporting documentation.
As a result of the thesis I have submitted an FPC manual for the company. Due to time constraints, the company contracted the CE auditing process to a consulting company and received a complete FPC manual more or less at the same time. The thesis commissioner is planning to have an audit for the CE marking in the February of 2016.
