As far as I am aware, there is no date code mandated under any of these (or
most other) Directives - although there are rules relating to the marking of
the year of first application of the CE Marking under the Machinery Directive.
The requirement, as in the General Product Safety Directive, is that the
manufacturer or EU importer must have a means of identifying particular
equipments about which the user might subseqently need to be warned of safety
hazards (etc) or that might need to be traced and recalled.
How you do it is up to you! Serial numbering and/or batch codes are a good
idea to save you having to warn about/recall the whole product line if only a
few known units are affected!

Hello Group,
I need to know, for equipment needing to meet the LVD, Machinery
Directive and EMC requirements, what the date code must consist of. Can the
date be in code form (code only known by the manufacturer) or must it be
the actual year or month and year of manufacture, etc.?
Thanks for your help.
