PS Net et al,
It has been my understanding from the beginning that the MDofC was
the proof of conformity in meeting the CE requirements and that the CE
marking on the equipment was a convenience, but not the formal proof. The
MDofC is the place where the inquirer can see specifically what Directives
are claimed and what specific Standards are claimed for conformity.
As a consultant in this area I have consistantly encouraged my
clients to reproduce the MDofC in the manual rather than provide a separate
document with the shipment. This simplifies these types of questions.
Further, it is true that outside manufacturers are at a
disadvantage in this process because Customs is the primary gatekeeper for
this process. Since the internal borders have been taken down, the Euro
manufacturers don't have to jump the same hurdles... Guess I've never
expected this to be a level playing field.
