A representative is necessary if the manufacture is not resident in the EU. That entity keeps the technical file and performs any other duties expressly assigned by the manufacturer. This procedure is not related to any procedural requirements to use or not use a Notified Body. A Notified Body is needed if Annex III, IV or V applies. For example, our product is a short range device where the spectrum standard has not been published; so we must follow Annex IV and use a Notified Body. However, once the standard is harmonized, we will switch to following Annex III and a Notified Body will not be required.
Richard Woods ---------- From: Courtland Thomas [SMTP:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2001 5:07 PM To: emcpost Subject: RTTE Directive Hello group, I have been reading through different articles on the RTTE Directive and getting somewhat confused. I have concluded that there is no requirement for an authorized representative within the Community any longer. This may have been the case all along, but it was good to have that person to submit the technical files to a notified body. I believe the notified body requirement goes away with the RTTE directive also. Now all that is required is for the manufacturer to maintain the technical file and produce the Declaration of Conformity. Am I on the right page? Thanks, Courtland Thomas Patton Electronics ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
