MISSION
AP Engineering is a company made up of specialists and expert professional people in the field of certification, set up to support device manufacturers in order to ensure compliance with European and international regulatory requirements for placing devices on the market. The activity carried out by AP Engineering, recognised as experts in the field, starts from the analysis of products up to the complete management of the Certification process, relieving its customers from the management process and interfacing with Certification Bodies, Laboratories and Institutions. The ability to achieve our goals is what distinguishes us in the market, supported by a high level of regulatory expertise acquired through years of experience in various sectors and participation in Italian, European and international regulatory technical Committees. Over time, AP Engineering has expanded its range of services to also provide a comprehensive service in the areas of on-site technical inspections of machinery and amusement rides, Industry 4.0 and specialised technical audits and training. We operate in multiple fields ranging from the Machinery Directive and the Certification of Functional Safety Devices, Medical Devices, Electrical and Electronic Equipment and Amusement Rides and Parks to certification for American markets, the Middle East, China, Korea, Russia, and many others.
VISION
AP Engineering is continuously developing consulting solutions to meet the needs of a rapidly growing and expanding market. Always attentive to regulatory developments, AP Engineering considers the continuous development of competencies to be fundamental, which is also achieved through the inclusion of new resources and participation in specific regulatory technical committees such as those on electric mobility and cyber security.
AP engineering believes that the development of new corporate services and recognitions is the basis for the future of the company, which is why we have initiated projects in the areas of accreditation, privacy and Ethics and Social Responsibility Certification.
