John, Brian Annex IV, section 2 EC declaration of conformity, of the new directive includes
- a dated reference to the specifications under which conformity is declared to ensure the conformity of the apparatus with the provisions of this Directive. 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.
