Knowing there are directives for EMC, Safety, and RoHS compliance I am a bit uncertain what to do with a subassembly which is in itself incomplete and not fully functional but requires entry into the EU so that it can become part of a larger system - also requiring all the regulations.
We build and generate DoC's and apply the CE mark as appropriate for end units and reference the EU directives that apply. I seem to have two choices on the subassemblies Acknowledge that the end product will have all of the directives imposed when this thing is installed and write a DoC that lists them. The rational is that we know and understand the requirements they just can't be verified on a subassembly. So I might indicate this is a nonfunctional assembly but list the EMC, Safety, and RoHS etc directives that I considered Or I might indicate it's a non-functional assembly and list only those directives that it can comply with at this level. Rather than EMC, safety and RoHS, I simply state the RoHS directive for example. Either of which being the basis for my applying the CE mark. The CE marking requirements guides don't seem to address this - or I have just completely misread them.
