...but for an alternative view, Regulation 40 (2) of the UK's The Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations 1992 (SI 1992:2372) says:


An EC declaration of conformity to which this regulation applies shall-

 (a) be in English;

 (b) give the name and address-

 (i) of the responsible person;

 (ii) where that person is not the manufacturer, of the manufacturer;

which I took to mean that both the manufacturer and their authorised representative should sign where the manufacturer is not resident in the EU.

Hi Folks

Whilst investigating something else today, I came upon the Commission
Guidance Notes for the implementation of the ATEX Directive :

http://europa.eu.int/comm/enterprise/atex/guide/guide_en.pdf

On Page 112 in reply to Question 13 (about something else), Case 1, 2nd
paragraph, states the following:

"The EC declaration of conformity and the application of the CE marking may
be effected either by the manufacturer or his authorised representative, but
not by both.  ....."

Whilst this is ATEX-specific, I think it would appear reasonable to assume
that the Commission takes a similar line with the other CE Marking
directives.

The document does also contain more background and explanatory information
on this point and the Directive in general.

Regards

John Allen
