You are correct that the EMC Directive 2004/108/EC states that products placed on the market before 7/20/2009 can continue to do so under Directive 89/336/EEC. However, I still recommend option #2 since your DOC and signature will be dated after the old Directive 89/336/EEC was repealed 7/20/2007.

As l understand it all new Electronic products should now have their Declaration of Conformities to the new EMC Directive 2004/108/EC, but products already on the market can still quote the old Directive in their D of C's It is a common practice for company's to take anther manufactures product and put their company logo on - badge engineer it basically. In the past they issued a D of C in their name, based on the other manufacturers D of C. During this change over period if a company wishes to badge engineer a product, but the D of C is to the old Directive what should they do : 1) Write a D of C to the old Directive under the argument that product is in the market already anyway - if only with a different name 2) Ask the supplier manufacturer for an updated D of C. There a small differences between the two Directives.
