There is an alternative to TCFs that can be far simpler for certain products
and manufacturers. This is a self Declaration of Conformity to harmonized
standards. It is a single page to be kept available within the European
Community if requested.
The "proof" of conformity, virtually never requested, can be:
1. A CB Test Report declaring conformity to IEC 60950, which fulfills the LVD.
Of course, EU country differences must be included.
2. A complete set of EMC test data to the applicable EN standards to fulfill
the EMC Directive.
We routinely obtain these work products for a number of reasons. They are
adequate to make a self-declaration as allowed under the CE marking
Directive. I cannot recall any country asking for copies of these, although
they
can be provided within a few days (air express) if necessary.
