Don EU Directives require that records are kept for 10 years after cessation of manufacture, so the total retention time depends on the production life of the product. You might also want to build in some time for goods in the supply chain if you distribute through either wholesale or retail distribution channels. Best regards

Is there a similar requirement in Europe? I have not been able to come up with EMC, LV, or RTTE record retention requirements (if they exist). Am I missing something or are there no records?
