Software
CE-CON Safety

Cloud-based means that the software and IT infrastructure are operated by an IT service provider on a secure server in Germany and can be used by you as a customer as a service. This approach means that it is not necessary to install and run the applications on your own computers or in your own data centers. There are no additional costs for the purchase, provision and maintenance of hardware or installation. All you need is an internet-enabled computer or tablet and a permanent internet connection. The software can then be accessed via any standard web browser.

Safety is a top priority at CE-CON. CE-CON Safety is operated in a data center in Bremen. This offers a power supply and cooling system secured by emergency diesel generators. The data center is redundantly connected to the fiber optic network and is monitored 24/7. Data is transferred between the end user and the data center using encrypted data transmission (SSL/TLS). The backups carried out in the data center are physically stored securely in separate areas.

The software is constantly being developed and updated. There are no additional maintenance contracts or other costs for CE-CON Safety. You will receive a notification on your dashboard within the software informing you of the update and showing you the changes.
You can easily send us your own ideas and suggestions for improvement via our support portal.

Templates can minimize the time needed to create and edit risk assessments and provide a company-wide standard.
You have the option of saving information as a template and reusing it across projects:

• Text modules (particularly suitable for continuous texts)
• Danger points
• Protection concepts/templates for measures including a combination of several measures
• Phases of life with activity descriptions
• Entire machine components

Complete products or project templates can simply be used as copy templates. When copying, you then selectively decide which components are to be transferred to the new project.
Template management really comes into its own in series production: recurring machine types or system variants can be documented efficiently and consistently. The reuse of existing templates – e.g. for protective measures, danger points or complete components – significantly reduces the effort required for new projects. At the same time, standardization ensures uniform documentation and reduces sources of error in the CE process. But even in classic special machine construction, electrical hazards and technical requirements for pneumatics or hydraulics occur again and again to the same extent.
By using templates, you not only save time and resources, but also create a solid basis for standard-compliant risk assessments with consistent quality – regardless of how many variants or series you need to map.

CE-CON Safety helps you to save all project-related information in one place. This can be layouts, photos, data sheets, circuit diagrams and any other files.
Verification documentation for calculations, test reports or supplier declarations will find the right place.
Instead of describing a safety fence and access concept, simply upload the corresponding safety layout.
You can invite your suppliers via the rights management and activate them for the project. Have your suppliers and service providers upload the necessary information directly to CE-CON Safety and save yourself unnecessary work.
And if things get tricky, you can have one of our experts take a look at your assessment at any time.

With CE-CON Safety, you can generate all the documents required for CE marking with predefined templates (depending on the project type), for example:

• Risk assessment / Partial risk assessments
• Declaration of Conformity / Declaration of Incorporation
• List of essential health and safety requirements
• References of harmonized standards
• Safety considerations
• Checklists
• Information for the operating instructions

By uploading your stationery (cover sheet, background), you can adapt the design of the documents to your company’s own layout.

Our cloud-based software supports output in PDF/A-1 format, the international standard for long-term archiving of digital documents. This ensures that your technical documentation, risk analyses and legally relevant evidence remain stored unchanged and legally compliant in the long term – in accordance with the requirements of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and EN ISO 12100. Thanks to embedded fonts, consistent formatting and validated metadata, your CE documentation is not only archivable, but also traceable and audit-proof at all times.

All changes made to a project can be viewed via the change history. This creates complete project documentation. The change history can only be viewed by administrators.
Versioning is therefore not necessary during the editing phase, but can of course be entered for the storage documentation.

Risk assessment is a key process for ensuring the safety of products. For machinery, this is carried out in accordance with EN ISO 12100. There is a similar procedure for electrical equipment in accordance with CENELEC Guide 32, and the GPSR has also stipulated a risk analysis since 2024.
CE-CON Safety supports you in a structured and seamless implementation and automatically in complying with the three-step procedure.
As EN ISO 12100 is applicable worldwide as an ISO standard, CE-CON Safety is also suitable for machines that are placed on the market outside the EU.

CE harmonization legislation, standards and other information crucial to product safety are constantly changing. For this reason, CE-CON Safety is constantly kept up to date by checking the database for new developments several times a month and automatically updating it in the software. For example, the database contains around 9000 data records for the harmonized standards published in the EU.
And, of course, the transition from the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC to the new Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 is also fully supported.

The CE conformity assessment procedure does not only consist of a risk assessment! The CE regulations place many more requirements on compliant products.
In the Compliance Manager, you will find project type-dependent checklists and smart wizards that are relevant to your project:

• Essantial health and safety requirements
• Technical documentation for machinery
• Requirements of the various conformity assessment modules
• After-market obligations
• Information on the labeling of products

With CE-CON Safety you can therefore cover the entire CE process.

With CE-CON Safety, you always have an overview of whether you have already completely fulfilled the requirements for your product or whether tasks are still open or certain areas still need to be worked on.
CE-CON Safety also supports the work of technical writers, designers and those who have to validate measures in the context of functional safety by providing selected lists, e.g. with

• Control measures with performance level
• List of pictograms to be used
• List of user information to be included in the operating/assembly instructions

You can edit these checklists via a mobile device or in paper form directly on the product or machine and mark them as tested.
Customized checklists can be configured and stored for you.
