The following section includes only the documents issued by ECM on a voluntary basis that are currently valid, which can be verified using the appropriate button below.

In this section you will NOT find documents issued by ECM as a notified body for the directives for which it is accredited, such as EU type certificates. Only documents issued on a voluntary basis are available in this section.

Please read carefully the content of the documents and the intended use for which they are issued.

Please note that documents issued on a voluntary basis do NOT replace mandatory certificates where their issuance is required by Law or Regulations. In particular, any document issued on a voluntary basis CANNOT in any way replace the EU Declaration of Conformity, which can only be issued by the manufacturer or its authorized representative.

All documents issued on a voluntary basis by ECM are prepared in compliance with the provisions of the note “Voluntary certification for products subject of EU technical harmonisation legislation” issued by the European Commission on September 14, 2022.

A voluntary document is issued by ECM upon request of a Client who meets the requirements to obtain it, solely on a voluntary and non-mandatory basis. As clearly stated in its title and content, it is not a EC Certificate, and the issuance of such documents does not fall within the scope of our notification under the European Union’s harmonized product legislation.

With the voluntary document alone, it is not possible to place products on the European Union market.

Documents issued on a voluntary basis are irrelevant for the purposes of product compliance, as reported by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs Department for Labour, Social Security, Insurance and Occupational Health and Safety Policies

Therefore, our company is NOT responsible for any improper, incorrect, or manipulated use of voluntary documents, nor for their use for purposes other than those for which they are intended. No third party is authorised to issue documents/certificates in our name and on our behalf. Ente Certificazione Macchine srl disclaims any liability that may arise from the unlawful use of the documents.

ECM is NOT responsible for the product, its production, importation, distribution, sale, advertising, technical support, or consultancy, nor does it act as an authorized representative.

It is the manufacturer’s responsibility to retain and make available to the Authorities all documents related to the products they manufacture, import, distribute, sell, and advertise.

To better clarify the difference between EU certifications issued in the mandatory scope and documents issued on a voluntary basis, we invite you to read this article, published in October 2022 on the magazine Mercato e Consumatori – an information periodical on MIMIT’s activities in consumer protection, market regulation, and competition – available on the Ministry’s website at this link.
