CE-Marked Rotary Screw Compressors — Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC for Europe
EMAX’s rotary screw range carries CE documentation under the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and EMC Directive 2014/30/EU, with certificate M.2026.206.C134347 issued by UDEM. Importers can request the certificate and model-specific declaration of conformity. Air-receiver pressure-equipment documentation is assessed separately; the certificate does not extend automatically to every product family.
To place a compressor on the EU market, the importer needs CE marking backed by an EU Declaration of Conformity and a technical file. EMAX screw compressors are CE-marked under the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU, certified by a European notified body — the paperwork an EU distributor is asked for at the border and on the shop floor.
CE marking is a legal declaration, not a quality logo
CE marking is the manufacturer’s declaration that a product meets every EU directive that applies to it. For an industrial air compressor that means the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC — covering mechanical and functional safety — together with the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU for electromagnetic compatibility. The mark is backed by an EU Declaration of Conformity and a technical file the manufacturer must be able to produce on request.
CE is not a badge a factory awards itself in good faith. For a distributor it is the legal basis on which a product is placed on the EU market: without a valid Declaration of Conformity and the harmonised standards behind it, the equipment cannot be sold in the European Economic Area, and the party that placed it there carries the consequence.
No Declaration of Conformity, no EU market — and the importer answers for it
The importer who places equipment on the EU market takes on obligations alongside the manufacturer: holding the Declaration of Conformity, keeping the technical documentation available to market-surveillance authorities, and making sure the CE mark is properly affixed. A missing or invalid declaration is not a paperwork delay — it is a barrier to sale and a liability that settles on the distributor.
A supplier who can hand you a notified-body certificate, a Declaration of Conformity per model, and the harmonised-standard list behind it removes that risk before the container ships — rather than leaving you to reconstruct a technical file after a customer or an authority has already asked for one.
- The EU importer holds the Declaration of Conformity and keeps the technical file available.
- Market-surveillance authorities can ask for the declaration and documentation at any point.
- Certified supply moves the compliance burden upstream, to the manufacturer who built it.
A notified-body certificate on record — held directly by EMAX
EMAX’s rotary screw range is CE-certified under the Machinery and EMC Directives, with the certificate issued by UDEM, a Türkiye-based EU notified body, and held directly by EMAX Power (Shanghai). The certificate, the directives it covers, and the harmonised standards it was assessed against are stated here exactly as they appear on the document, and the PDF is on the certifications page.

The certificate covers the rotary screw range. A model-specific EU Declaration of Conformity is issued on request for the units you intend to stock. Piston, scroll, and accessory lines are CE-marked per configuration — request the documentation for the specific models you plan to import; we do not stretch one certificate over ranges it does not cover.
The air receiver is pressure equipment under PED 2014/68/EU
A compressor’s air receiver is a pressure vessel, and in the EU that brings the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU into scope alongside the Machinery Directive — the European counterpart to AS 1210 in Australia and NR-13 in Brazil. The conformity route depends on the vessel’s category, which is set by its volume and pressure. EMAX’s screw-range air receivers fall within PED scope, and the relevant PED documentation is provided on request for the models you plan to import.
PED applies to the pressure vessel; the Machinery and EMC Directives apply to the machine — they are separate conformity routes, and we keep them distinct rather than folding one certificate over the other. Request the PED documentation for the specific models and we will confirm what ships with each unit.

CE questions EU importers ask
- Does EMAX hold a CE certificate?
- Yes. EMAX’s rotary screw range is CE-certified under the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU, certificate M.2026.206.C134347 issued by the UDEM (Türkiye) notified body and held directly by EMAX Power (Shanghai), valid to 27 January 2031.
- What is the difference between the Machinery Directive and PED?
- The Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC governs the machine — its mechanical and functional safety. The Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU governs the pressure vessel — the air receiver. A compressor can fall under both; they are separate conformity routes, which is why we keep the directive numbers distinct rather than folding one certificate over the other.
- Who is responsible for CE compliance — the manufacturer or the importer?
- The manufacturer affixes the CE mark and issues the EU Declaration of Conformity; the EU importer holds that declaration and keeps the technical documentation available to market-surveillance authorities. Both carry obligations, which is why a certificate and a per-model declaration from the manufacturer matter to the importer.
- Which EMAX models are CE-marked?
- The rotary screw range (TSC-3 to TSC-250, including the TSC-100PV flagship, single and three phase) is the CE-certified range under the certificate above. Piston, scroll, and accessory lines are CE-marked per configuration — request the Declaration of Conformity for the specific models you plan to stock.
