CE Technical-File Compilation SOP — CN→KZ Corridor (Vertical Solar BoS)

A repeatable SOP for assembling the Conformité Européenne (CE) Technical File used on vertical-solar Balance-of-Systems (BoS) shipments from China (CN) to Kazakhstan (KZ). Owners, inputs, outputs, and a "done-when" gate are defined for each step.

1. Purpose and scope

This Standard Operating Procedure governs the compilation of a CE Technical File for vertical-solar BoS hardware moving on the CN → KZ corridor. The corridor combines CE-compliant European-market goods with shipments into a Customs Union (EAEU) jurisdiction where local conformity assessment and translation may also be required.

Vertical-solar BoS scope includes, but is not limited to:

• PV DC connectors, PV DC cables, and cable trays
• Combiner boxes, junction boxes, and DC isolators
• Mounting clamps for vertical façades and similar structural fixings
• Fasteners, earthing lugs, and associated small parts

The final lane falls under the EAEU Customs Union framework administered through the Eurasian Economic Commission and national customs authorities. [Claim | Src: Eurasian Economic Commission | URL: https://eec.eaeunion.org/en/ | accessed 2026-09-21]

3. SOP — step sequence

Process flow. Each step has one named owner, named inputs, named outputs, and a single explicit "done-when" gate. Counting is reset to 1 only at SOP initiation.

4. Document checklist (literal filenames)

Filenames below are the literal names carried by the dossier. Do not rename files between trades; this rule keeps the archive consistent across projects.

5. Timeline and dependencies

Durations above are indicative and depend on the BOM size, language mix, and the destination authority workload on the day of filing.

6. Cost and duty block

Where cost fields appear in the wider process (e.g., declaration fee, sampling visit, notary) they are marked indicative or UNCERTAIN in the working spreadsheet kept under TV-CE-S10-dossier.zip. They are not contractual until confirmed in writing in the corresponding quote.

6.1 AQL hold-point

Pre-shipment lots use sampling-by-attributes per ISO 2859-1. The AQL level for the marking check (Step 8) and the visual fit check at stuffing is recorded on the inspection sheet.

6.2 Documents used on the lane

Multimodal transport uses the FIATA Forwarding Instructions / Bill of Lading, or rail consignment notes (CIM/SMGS) where applicable. [Claim | Src: FIATA — multimodal documents | URL: https://fiata.org/what-we-do/fiata-documents/ | accessed 2026-09-21]
