If the product you are selling is a component or sub assembly that will be installed as part of a finished product, then yes you can do what you purpose. Make sure you document what needs to be done and why. Most DOCs have a section labeled "Supplementary Information:". I would place a note in that section stating that there are conditions for compliance.
If your product is the final product or a consumer product than no. How is your customer going to install a cap across the AC line in your product? External assemblies such as shielded I/O cables and such are allowed as long as they are well documented. I have seen special line cords with filters built into the plug, but it had to be made captive to the unit (or part of the unit) per the VDE (this was many years ago). I don't see how this can be done though there are many more clever than I. I will be curious to see others reply.

Greetings, We sell an air compressor with a DC motor. This motor requires a capacitor across the DC supply lines to meet the EMC requirements. Of course management does not want to supply the capacitor, they want to describe it in the documentation, and add a note on the Declaration of Conformity that a capacitor is required. Is this acceptable for European customers? In that scenario, I would like to issue a Declaration of Incorporation, but after reviewing the directives, I can only find a reference to the Declaration of Incorporation in the Machinery Directive. Can this be used for the other directives?
