Hi Gary, Your only requirement is ROHS. If your customers need evidence or question EMC and Product Safety, you can then justify your steps taken to attain Due Diligence to the specific applicable standards.
Regards, Mark From: McInturff, Gary [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, December 09, 2011 2:01 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [PSES] DoC - maybe asked and answered but looking for one more answer 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.
