Lothar, Of all the DofC's I've witnessed in my travels that have been generated from test labs, very few have required the manufacturer's signature. In fact, they were signed by an officer of the test lab. However, to be fair, these DofC's issued from test labs may be only intended for and addressed to the approval holder/manufacturer to demonstrate conformance for a particular compliance achievement (e.g., EN55022, EN50082-1, CTR4, etc.). Conversely, the manufacturer's DofC must encompass all applicable compliances pertaining to a particular product. In which case the manufacturer is duty-bound to generate and sign it. Just some addtional views on the subject. Comments are welcome. Best regards, Ron Pickard [email protected]
