Amund Have a look at the R&TTE Compliance Association guidance on this topic http://www.rtteca.com/TGN06Rev1.pdf:
.....In this sense, there is no "duration of validity" for a notified body opinion. It remains valid for so long as the circumstances relevant to its issue remain unchanged. If there is a change, then it is the responsibility of the manufacturer to determine the need for a new or updated opinion.... >The reason for the question is that a LVD amendment will be mandatory in the >nearest future It's not "mandatory" - there might be a passing of the "Date of cessation of presumption of conformity of superseded standard" (DOCOPOCOSS) - but that it all. Personally I would be more concerned with the Radio Spectrum Harmonised Standard being superseded - again that might not be an issue as NBs are not required to adhere to Harmonised Standards - but I would make sure that it was an "intentional" situation and not one that had come about through a "fire and forget" approach to R&TTE Compliance on behalf of the manufacturer. Regards Charlie From: Amund Westin [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 17 September 2012 17:50 To: [email protected] Subject: [PSES] R&TTE Certification Conformity Assessment Shall a R&TTE Certificate from a Notified Body, always include a due date? The reason for the question is that a LVD amendment will be mandatory in the nearest future and the manufacturer has not included the amendment in the DoC. The RTTE notified body will therefore have a limitation on the certificate with due date equal to the amendment "Date of cessation of presumption of conformity of superseded standard", in order to ensure that the manufacturer don't use the certificate after the day the amendment becomes mandatory.
