You can access most of the TCAM documents through the UK's DTI Technical Advice and Policy Committee (TAPC) R&TTE website:
http://www.tapc.org.uk/RTTE/Index.html Regards Andrea Bishop BABT Product Service -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Harris [mailto:harr...@dscltd.com] Sent: 30 November 2000 23:36 To: EMC-PSTC (E-mail) Subject: R&TTE Directive DoC Requirements Hello Group, OK I'm confused. Some of you who get Conformity update may remember that at the beginning of the month there was an article on the R&TTE directive having to do with DoC requirements. In part it .referred to a TCAM document 6 (30)0 in which a proposed compromise solution was suggested If you didn't include a formal DoC with each product you could have a simple statement in the manual in all 11 languages of the community and give a pointer to a web site for the formal DoC. However I just ran across some minutes from TCAM 6 which state NOTES ON TCAM 6, 25-26 September 2000 6.3 DoC in Manuals: Industry expressed concerns about the compromise reached. It was not usual to put all 11 Community languages in all versions of user manuals. Languages were "clustered" in meaningful groups to suit commercial distribution arrangements. It was agreed that only relevant languages need be included and that the obligation to supply declarations to users should be revisited in the coming review of the Directive. There seems to be a bit of a discrepancy here. Are either of these documents to be taken at their word? If I invoked either of them do I run any risks of not meeting the requirements of the directive? Any TCAM folks out there care to comment? By the way (since some of us are airing grievances or pet peeves these days) Why is the TCAM site closed except to those who member states deem worthy. Sharing the information with all surely can't hurt. As it stands it certainly gives manufactures within the member states a huge jump on what's happening.
