The manufacturer's plate is not just a label; it is the legal and technical identity card of your equipment. It fulfills a dual requirement of providing information and ensuring compliance:

For the end user (the operator) It allows you to immediately identify what is in front of you (type, series, voltage, power) for safe use and maintenance.
For the regulatory authorities It is the first point of verification for Customs, Labour Inspection and certification bodies (Apave, Bureau Veritas, Dekra) in order to validate the regulatory compliance of the machine.

The types of plates we supply

As an industrial partner, we adapt the marking to the specific constraints of each type of machine, from prototype to large series.

Special vehicles: Tare plates and road conformity plates.
Construction site equipment: UV, mud and abrasion resistant.
Agricultural machinery: Guaranteed resistance to weathering and plant protection products.

Risk of poor production

The absence or non-compliance of a manufacturer's plate exposes the manufacturer to heavy and immediate penalties:

Sale prohibited The machine may be blocked in customs (export) or prohibited from being marketed on the European market for lack of CE marking.
Criminal liability : In the event of a personal injury accident, if the plate is missing, illegible or non-compliant (lack of traceability), the manufacturer is presumed guilty of "endangering others".
Refusal to provide insurance : In the event of an accident (fire, machine breakdown), the operator's insurance may refuse to cover damage caused by a machine considered to be "ghost" (unidentified).
Sale voided The buyer has the right to cancel the sale for "non-conformity" and demand a full refund if the legal identification is faulty.

Making the right choice of material/technique combination

Subjects	Chemical resistance & corrosion	Mechanical resistance (shocks/scratches)	Recommended environment
Anodized aluminum (laser engraving)	Good. The anodizing layer protects the aluminum, but the marking remains superficial.	Average. The marking is clear but can be damaged by deep scratches.	Standard industrial/indoor use. Ideal for nameplates with complex logos and barcodes (high contrast).
316L stainless steel (chemical etching)	Excellent (unalterable). Total inertness to acids, solvents, detergents and salt spray.	Very high. The slight chemical etching protects the information from surface abrasion.	Food processing / pharmaceuticals / marine. The standard for aseptic or corrosive environments. Premium finish.
Aluminium / stainless steel (Mechanical engraving)	Very good. Depends on the alloy, but the depth guarantees readability even if the surface is damaged.	Maximum (indelible). The marking is engraved into the solid (milling). Indelible even after painting or violent impacts.	Construction / outdoor / heavy industry. For machinery subjected to weathering, mud and impacts.
Printing (Screen printing/Digital)	Low to medium. Sensitive to strong solvents (unless protected with varnish, but with limited durability).	Low. Risk of erasure by friction or direct mechanical abrasion.	Protected signage. Not recommended for a durable manufacturer's plate subjected to industrial stresses.

FAQ

How to manage the incrementation of serial numbers (S/N) on an order of several hundred plates?

We fully automate this process to eliminate any risk of human error. Simply provide a spreadsheet file (Excel, CSV) containing your numbering range or variable data. Our CAD software directly integrates this information to control the engraving, guaranteeing a perfect sequence from the first to the thousandth part.

Do the CE marking and traceability codes remain legible after high-pressure or chemical cleaning?

Yes, provided you opt for engraving by material removal (mechanical or chemical) or a deep fiber laser. Unlike screen printing or adhesive labels that can be removed by solvents, our processes engrave the metal into the solid, making the regulatory information (CE marking, voltage, year, references) permanent for the entire lifespan of the machine.

What fastening system guarantees the regulatory immovability of the manufacturer's plate?

The Machinery Directive often mandates permanent fastening. We recommend riveting, using pre-drilled plates with standard diameters (2 mm, 3,2 mm, etc.). When drilling the frame is impossible, we use 3M VHB type structural industrial adhesives, which offer pull-out resistance equivalent to mechanical fastening after curing.
