Sample dossier

What finished
CE documentation looks like.

138 pages, exported from CE-Copilot and published unchanged. The example is the RSZ-2600 robotic welding cell, a special-purpose machine forming an assembly of machinery, with everything the software generates for a project: risk assessment, list of standards, Declaration of Conformity, technical file, test reports, functional safety and cybersecurity.

This is the English edition of the dossier, exported from the English edition of the platform. The same project exists in German, and the Declaration of Conformity can also be exported in French and Italian.

Cover page of the sample dossier: CE technical documentation for the RSZ-2600 robotic welding cell with project number, customer, site and machine description

Contents

Seven modules, one document.

All modules work on the same data within the project: the hazards from the risk assessment feed the safety functions, the standards selected appear in the Declaration of Conformity. The full export bundles them in this order, with a clickable table of contents.

1.

Risk assessment

per EN ISO 12100

Each hazard on its own page: life phase, type of hazard, risk number before measures (severity × probability), protective measures following the three-step method of EN ISO 12100 with the corresponding requirements from Annex I of the Machinery Directive, residual risk and acceptance decision.

2.

Standards applied

harmonised standards from the project checklist

The standards selected, separated into type A, B and C standards, with full title and the directive under which they are harmonised. Technically applied rules without harmonisation appear in the same list, recognisable by the absence of a directive assignment.

24 standards·pp. 102–103

3.

Declaration of Conformity

Annex II Machinery Directive / Annex V Machinery Regulation

The declaration ready for signature, with manufacturer, person authorised to compile the technical file, product details including serial number range, directives applied, the list of standards from module 2 and the chosen conformity assessment procedure.

Technical documentation

Annex VII Machinery Directive / Annex IV Machinery Regulation

The checklist of the technical file per Annex VII Part A: what is available, where it is kept, who released it. Drawings, circuit diagrams and calculations are recorded and managed here, not replaced.

5.

Test reports

safety and functional tests

Electrical testing per EN 60204-1, functional testing of the safety devices and further test blocks, each with test item, mandatory/optional flag, result and test date.

64 of 68 test items·pp. 113–122

6.

Functional safety

performance level per EN ISO 13849-1

For each safety function, the required performance level (PLr) with the risk graph parameters, the result taken from SISTEMA (category, PFHd) and the verification PL ≥ PLr. The calculation itself remains in SISTEMA.

5 safety functions·pp. 123–124

7.

Cybersecurity

Cyber Resilience Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/2847)

Classification and obligations in force depending on the date of placing on the market, inventory of interfaces and assets, cybersecurity risk assessment, requirements matrix per Annex I, third-party components, support period, vulnerability handling, reporting process under Article 14 and the user information per Annex II.

Limits

What the dossier does not contain.

  • Design drawings, circuit diagrams and parts lists. These are created in CAD and E-CAD; in the technical documentation they are recorded, managed and included in the export, but they are not generated by CE-Copilot.
  • The operating instructions per section 1.7.4 of Annex III MR (Annex I MD). They are created in their own module and have their own export, so that they remain a document for the customer rather than disappearing into the internal file. A complete example is available at sample operating instructions.
  • The SISTEMA report on the performance level achieved. It belongs in the technical file as evidence; you carry out the calculation in SISTEMA (IFA of the DGUV, free of charge).
  • Your company logo, headers and footers. The sample dossier shows the example company; in your account, your company details appear there.

The standards check behind the document

Every standard number is checked.

Every standard number named by the AI is checked in CE-Copilot against the catalogue of standards listed in the Official Journal of the EU. Anything that cannot be confirmed there is flagged visibly by the software in the project and in the export, rather than the number being silently issued as a valid standard. In the sample project, all of these flags were resolved during the technical revision; the current export therefore contains no open markers. That is precisely the end state the check is meant to produce: it shows the places where your technical decision is required, until none remain open.

And the most important point last: A sample dossier is not a blank cheque. The technical review and the release of the documentation remain with the manufacturer. The software structures, substantiates and keeps the documents together; the signature is yours.

Ready for the new Machinery Regulation?

Move your CE documentation to a guided workflow: from the risk assessment to the Declaration of Conformity, before the Machinery Regulation takes effect on 20 January 2027.

What changes on the cut-over date in concrete terms: for six machinery categories in Annex I Part A of the Machinery Regulation (including removable mechanical transmission devices with their guards, vehicle servicing lifts, cartridge-operated fixing tools and safety-related AI components), self-assessment via harmonised standards is no longer sufficient; there, the notified body becomes mandatory.
