Gentlemen, and ladies, and others..... Does anyone have an opinion on the longevity of a Compliance Certificate?
Take the situation..... If we make a product, test it, certify it, and sell this in the normal way, how long can we carry on selling this product (assuming that there are no design changes, but changes due to obsolescent parts or 'more modern' parts) relying on the original test results and certificate to provide evidence of Compliance? My own gut feeling is that three years is perfectly OK, and 20 years is too long, so somewhere in between those two figures may be about right I suppose. Does anyone have an opinion, a precedent, or rationale for this subject? Thankyou for your attention.
