The CEC (Chartered Engineer’s Certification) is required to sell and import used machinery to India. To obtain the CE Certificate, the machine must be able to operate for at least 5 years when sold to India. The inspector must understand the machine and be able to see the machine in operation and judge the condition and probability of on-going lifespan.
Once the CE Certificate is issued, it goes to the buyer in India, who will present it to customs as a part of the clearance paperwork. The process for obtaining a Chartered Engineer Certificate (CEC) is as follows:
After receiving the necessary information from the seller regarding the machine, such as data sheets, calibration certificates, purchase invoice, proforma invoice, maintenance certificates, etc., the location of the machine is required.
A technical inspection of the machine will then take place. In the course of this, the value and condition of the machine is assessed.
- Based on this inspection and a check of the specified values and documents, a Chartered Engineer Certificate (CEC) is issued
