John, I know that the original question related to re-issuing DoCs for the revised EMC Directive / UK Regulations, but members of this group are likely to be interested in learning that the UK DTI issued the following advice regarding the codified LVD - 2006/95/EC since the last para deals with this topic:
"Codification consolidates and corrects errors in the original text of the Directive, in particular those that are translated from the original text (French version) - it cannot introduce changes. For example, some language versions (not English) had introduced a choice as to where the CE Marking should be applied whereas the original requirement was that it should be on the product and if not possible then on the accompanying documentation or packaging. The English text version is correct. It will now be clear in all languages that the CE marking must be placed onto the product if possible whilst respecting the legibility/ size requirement. Codification is not a "new" LVD as such and there will not be a change to the implementing UK Regulations, ie the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 1994. The Codified version of the Directive (2006/95/EC) does state that all official references to the old Directive (73/23/EC) shall be construed as reference to the new. All official documentation from the 16th January 2007 will now reference the new Directive. The Directive makes no requirement for the Directive Number to be quoted within the text of the Technical File (TF) or the Declaration of Conformity (DOC). It may be that persons affected in the supply chain may want to use the new number, however best practice would be for the technical file to make reference to the Directive." I make no other comment.
