Tony, Very good question. The person that signs the DOC is doing so as a representative of the company he/she works for. If he/she ends their employment the replacement person does not have to re-issue the DOCs. It is the company that is making the declaration, not the individual. The company gives the signatory the authority to sign on their behalf. If the authority is given to a different person, for what ever reason, it doesn't effect the validity of previously signed DOCs.
Think of it this way. If a company signed a contract with another company, neither company can break the contract simply by firing the person who signed it. Right? It is the same concept.

Forgive me for asking a possibly dumb question but here goes: If the EU Declaration of Conformity is signed by a responsible/technically competent person who has been nominated on behalf of the company's Directors and then that person leaves the company, does his/her replacement who assumes the same level of responsibility need to go back and re-issue all of the old D of C's with their signature on the document. In other words is it acceptable to issue D of C's to suppliers/customers which have been signed by someone who has left the company. Thankyou in advance.
