You can self certify under "CE".
You need to maintain your written document showing you have checked
and comply the various standards. You may need to lodge a copy with
an authorised recipient. (In case you disappear, die, go bankrupt
etc.)  (We do it for many complex petrochemical processing
machineries that could cause severe life problems (toxin
production)/fire etc problems if wrongly used.

Mainly it is just a documentation exercise but takes time.
