John, John, and everyone I was intending to comment on a reference to the technical documentation, although I see that it wasn't clear from my reply. The annex of the Directive makes reference to the specifications but not the technical documentation. The Guide makes reference to both.
Sorry for the confusion.

At the risk of sounding like a pedant, there is no mention of "harmonised" in the above requirement. That seems to suggest that including a dated reference to any and all specifications used is a legislative requirement.

I don't disagree, but I think people can use their own judgement. If there are only a few references, then they could be on the DoC. If, however, there are many, the DoC could even look designed to confuse and obscure! In that case, I think it would be perfectly reasonable to state, 'The non-harmonised standards or specifications that have been applied are listed in the above-mentioned technical documentation.' -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
