Standards research

Over 3,000 harmonised standards across eight EU directives – current and withdrawn, updated automatically from the Official Journal of the EU (OJEU/EUR-Lex).

What CE marking legally requires at this step

CERTAIN covers over 3,000 harmonised standards across the supported EU directives – Machinery, LVD, EMC, RED, Pressure Equipment, ATEX, RoHS and Outdoor Noise – both current and withdrawn. Every reference comes from the official source, the Official Journal of the EU (OJEU/EUR-Lex), and is updated automatically. You therefore always see the true publication status – including historic versions, where the standards in force at the time apply to existing machinery or a substantial modification. AI helps you choose the relevant standards; the standards data itself always comes from the official source.

Targeted standards suggestions instead of manual searching

CERTAIN suggests suitable standards based on your product characteristics, EU legislation and safety requirements.

This helps you arrive at a reliable selection of standards more quickly – without laborious manual research in databases and lists of standards.

Over 3,000 harmonised standards across eight EU directives – current and withdrawn, updated automatically from the Official Journal of the EU (OJEU/EUR-Lex).

With the powerful standards research, you search product-specific C-standards directly on the basis of the EUR-Lex database.

All standards can be found specifically via keywords or with the intelligent ‘Power Search’. AI-supported search functions help identify relevant standards faster and more precisely.

Manage relevant standards centrally

CERTAIN helps you manage the standards relevant to your product in a structured way and compile them on a project-specific basis.

This way, you keep an overview at all times of the standards to be listed – for example, in your EU declaration of conformity or technical documentation.

Complete overview of standards

All standards used are displayed centrally, together with the associated EU legislation and their classification as A-, B- or C-standards.

In addition, the overview includes standards that were added during the risk assessment or derived from specific protective measures.

Add further technical standards flexibly

In addition to harmonised standards, further sets of rules can be added on a project-specific basis – such as national or international standards, manufacturer-specific factory standards, or the regulations of the German employers’ liability insurance associations (Berufsgenossenschaften).
