Be careful of declarations that include a specific model manufactured 
     by another company.  Without engineering control or intercompany 
     agreements the other product could change without notice, technically 
     negating your declaration.
     
     Nothing prevents the competent body from insisting on a cooperative 
     agreement between both companies to assure future compliance.
     
     Is this related to your earlier question about an UPS?

Assume a product requires the use of an external device in order to comply 
with a particular immunity test. Assume that the product is marketed without

the external device and the device is readily available in the EU member 
states. Is it acceptable to create a TCF for the particular essential 
requirement, obtain an opinion from a Competent Body, and declare compliance

with notes in the declaration and installation instructions that the product

is compliant if and only if it is used with the specified external device?
