Notifed Bodies and Test Samples

[WOODS, RICHARD]

A Notified Body for EMC has told us that we must keep the test sample
for 10 years. Since there is nothing in the Directive that requires
samples to be kept, we find this request to be unacceptable. We have a
TCF and understand that it must be kept for 10 years after production
ceases. Has anyone else encountered this type of requirement by a
Notified Body?
