Заглавие: CONFORMITY ASSESSMENT SYSTEM FOR PRODUCTS – POWER EQUIPMENT: METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH AND PRACTICAL APPLICATION
Ключови думи: risk management; product compliance; internal audit; quality

Абстракт: This article presents a structured methodology for the internal conformity assessment of power equipment, developed and applied within TOOLSWORLD – Bulgaria. The study addresses the regulatory framework of the European Union, including the Machinery Directive, Low Voltage Directive, Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive, RoHS Directive, and Regulation (EU) 2019/1020, and emphasizes the dual role of conformity assessment as both a legal requirement and a strategic tool for risk and quality management. A six-stage methodology is proposed, encompassing documentation collection, verification, cross-referencing with product lists, data extraction, classification into five conformity categories (Cat.1 – Cat.5), and visualization of results. Applied to a portfolio of 482 products, the methodology revealed that nearly half (47.1%) of the products were in partial conformity (Cat.2), while only 4.8% achieved full conformity (Cat.1). The results highlight critical compliance risks, particularl
