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.... (of course all product and company names are fictitious) Lauren Crane
