John, As you can guess, it would be easier for us if we could use the same DOC for all models within a family. Here is where the question about "cooling fans" come into play. If a cooling fan makes the product a "Machine" then we could use one DOC (MD) for all since all of our products have fans.
But, some say fans don't count. But do they? Some of our products have huge fans, blowers, vacuum pumps, solenoids, contactors, and other such moving parts, so where do you draw the line? Any Comments on this?

If the MD does not apply, you can't apply it as a default. You need two DoCs, one if the MD applies and one if it doesn't. I can't help you with product variants to which the MD applies. It's clearly oppressive, but change seems improbable. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
