I don't see any advantage in b), and it would be unusual even if not illegal. You do not have to include the DOC in the equipment manual for most Directives, but IIRC there is at least one that 'sort of' tells you to do that. But you MUST supply a copy to anyone who has reasonable grounds for asking, e.g. a *prospective* purchaser. You should not 'distil' the DOC data, because any such incomplete statement could well be regarded as illegal. The DOC is not a large document; for most products it takes up much less than one side of A4 paper. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Interested in professional sound reinforcement and distribution?
