I had rare occasions where a product would not pass certain immunity requirements for CE Mark (often a difficult ESD problem) but did meet the emission requirements of ICES/FCC or North America. If a product was delayed by such problems the release could go forward (via flags and message fields I could set in the corporate database) that would forbid sales to EU customers.
Later, when the immunity problem was fixed and implemented, the order-entry non-CE flag was cleared and the DoC was placed onto the corporate web site, but not packaged with the product as it was until about a year ago. For a product catalog of 500 items the old paper DoC method was costly to support and revise as the ENs change and multiply. At least this was true up until March 2002 when I ended my employment.
