Derek,
I have just finished reading the EMCD and LVD regarding this very concern,
so my answer is limited. My interpretation is that the US Manufacturer can
affix the CE Mark, generate the D of C and sign the D of C. It is the
responsibility of the importer to ensure compliance and make available the D
of C. It is the responsibility of the Manufacturer or his EU Rep to make
available all technical docs, which do not necessarily need to reside on EU
soil - just be available. Ultimately, it looks like all responsibility falls
on the importer, though, when the Mfr does not reside in the EU.
As I am moving forward with this position in mind, any comments would be
greatly appreciated as well.
Thx,
Joe

Subject: D of C again
Hi folks,
I've been asked by a US manufacturer who's signature if any should appear on
the D of C, and should they be located on European soil.
Is there a clear consensus?
Thanks,
