I agree and have done the same. Except I'm not sure why color is even
mentioned - it doesn't belong in any agency report I can think of. I suppose
the possible exception might be for outdoor equipment that absorbs solar
radiation and heats up.

Subject: RE: Transfer of EMC Certification
When I handled just this scenario for one of Digital's acquisitions I had
the CEO of Company A sign a letter granting Digital all right to product
families XYZ (et al) and to the appropriate UL files.
I then had the files transferred to our listing - the manufacturing plants
updated and that was it.
No big deal.
Color of paint and names are all stuff for Agency Change Requests.
I suggest that that methodology would apply to any body.
Best regards
Gregg

Assuming that the harmonized standards were used for XYZ for Company A, a
Manufacturer's DoC was issued based on the tests. Company B needs to issue
a DoC, but if I were Company B, I would have no hesitation putting a note in
the file saying the XYZ and ZYS1plus are identical and issuing a new DoC in
Company B's name.
Why did company B even talk to Beco? If not technical construction file was
involved, a competent body isn't needed for putting the CE Marking on the
product. Don't forget about the LVD.

Subject: Transfer of EMC Certification
Company A has product XYZ tested and certified by Exco as meeting the
requirements of the EMC directive. Company A has an Exco certificate for the
XYZ on file.
Company B buys the design and manufacturing rights of the XYZ from Company
A.
They give the XYZ a new name XYZlplus, model number and paint color.
I assume Company B can not use Company A's certificate.
Company B approaches Beco, a European Competent body for the EMC directive.
What is the minimum, legal "solution" for getting EMC certification from
Beco for the XYZplus?
-Does the XYZplus have to be re-tested?
-Can Company B simply provide a cover letter to the existing certificate
warranting that the XYZplus made by company B is exactly the same (EMC-wise)
as the XYZ made by company A?
Thanks for any insight....
