Note that it behooves the customer to do the following things:
1. Keep a copy of all data verifying compliance on file.
2. Work out a system with the vendor that allows verification
of ongoing quality, compliance, and testing (modifications,
upgrades, options). This usually involves having access
to activity of the ECO process which is far from trivial.
It's their butt that's on the line if they declare.

The solution appears simple to me, your customer prepares his own
Declaration,
based on reviewing your data, uses his own model numbers, and puts his own
CE mark on his equipment.

We have an interesting situation that I am not sure how to deal with, and I
would welcome any advice I can get from the group, please.
I am being asked if we can sell products to customers who want their name
only to appear on the product, not ours, and so order products with no
labelling on them at all, in plain white boxes. These customers need the CE
mark, and would like us to ship a DofC in our name, but would like to
incorporate the CE Mark into their labels, or apply our CE Mark label at
their factory. I know the Certification agencies are very particular on
this point: their marks are only to be applied at the authorized factory
where inspections, hipot testing, etc. takes place.
1. Is there any problem with the customer applying the CE Mark instead of
our factory?
2. Is there any problem with shipping a product with one name on it (the
customer's) when the DofC has a different name on it (not to mention model
numbers - some of these customers don't use our model numbers)?
Thanks in advance for considering this issue.
