Richard,
As I understood, the original question was about the requirements of EMCD
(see above). Article 10 of the EMC Directive defines obligations for
holding EC Declaration of Conformity at the disposal of COMPETENT
AUTHORITIES (the user is not mentioned). In addition, "... whereas the EC
Declaration of Conformity concerning the apparatus constitutes a
presumption of its conformity with this Directive, whereas this declaration
MUST TAKE THE SIMPLEST POSSIBLE FORM".

Please respond to

Folks,
Article 6(3) of the R&TTED requires that "Member States shall ensure that
the manufacturer or the person responsible for placing the apparatus on the
market provides information for the user on the intended use of the
apparatus, together with the declaration of conformity to the essential
requirements."
Therefore, not only should one refrain from making statements about DoC
without expanding the term, one should also refrain from making
generalisations about ALL directives when in fact the detail of what
information is to be provided varies.
The fact that the European Commission published both a Directive and a
Decision a number of years back which were supposed to define a framework
to achieve consistency twixt future directives (the 'Global Approach') does
not mean that consistency actually exists. The LVD requires one thing as
regards Declarations of Conformity, the R&TTED requires another ? and even
the information to be provided in such a declaration can vary. Just as
well they didn't call it the 'Consistent Approach'.
Not a new point (as in I'm sure I've said something similar in the past),
but one that seems necessary to be made from time to time.
Regards,
Richard Hughes
