If you are planning to export plant and machinery into India from any country then you will need a Chartered Engineers Certification (CEC).This applies to any machinery that is used, second hand , refurbished or rebuilt or upgraded. The process of obtaining a chartered certificate should be logically trouble free and involves a physical site inspection by a Chartered Engineer and subsequent issuing of signed and stamped be chartered engineer certificate.
As an overview the certificate must incorporate details of the equipment’s original value , its current value , a description and assessment of condition , the date of manufacture, sr. no. details of refurbishment , if any and of course a valid signature and stamp. Whilst alterations to the certificate can be quick and simple, often this causes delays in shipping and so it pays to find someone who has experience of the requirements from the outset.
The chartered Engineer will justify viewing the equipment and inspecting it for himself. Whilst the inspection is proper, it is not a test of the equipment’s ability to perform to neither specification nor any guarantee that the equipment will function perfectly. This can take a number of hours depending on the equipment and will include inspection of any documents and tools i.e. it may be being shipped with the main goods. If it is simply not practical to find a Chartered Engineer yourself then help is available on write email.
