Preliminary orientation · not an approval · Ruleset 2026.10.29-4
CE Preliminary Check
Answer questions about your craft, its market and your role. The check shows, with the article behind every point, whether the directive may apply, which route may be relevant and what information is still missing.
- Five short steps
- No registration
- Answers stay in your browser
- Every rule cites its article
How the check works
Rules, not guesses
- A fixed, versioned set of rules is applied to your answers. The same answers always give the same result.
- Each rule cites the article it is based on, with the date the source was last checked.
- Where a rule would need judgement, the result says “Professional review required”.
- No artificial intelligence takes part in the check.

Limits
- Preliminary orientation only, based on your own answers. It is not a conformity assessment, a certificate or an approval.
- The check never determines a design category, a load, a number of persons, an exemption or a notified body.
- Rules are deterministic and versioned; each cites the article it is based on. Cases the rules cannot settle go to professional review.
- Covers Directive 2013/53/EU and the Turkish regulation RG 30057 only. Proposals for amendments are not used.
