>>>>>Greg I think your statement needs some clarification.
Even if it is produced by Company A, the DoC must clearly state the name and model number of the Company B which sells the product in question in the EU, so that the document is clearly and specifically associated with that product as sold in the EU..<<<<< I agree.

Agreed again. From the standpoint of the authorities, it's probably better that company B issues the DoC. However, from the standpoint of company B, who may not have as much control over production QC as they'd like, a declaration issued by Company A might be preferable. I've seen joint declarat ions, also, although I don't know what the Commission thinks about that. Greg Galluccio www.productapprovals.com
