>From article 5 of the Machinery Directive, the manufacturer or authorized >representative shall, among other things: "(e) draw up the EC declaration of conformity in accordance with Annex II, part 1, Section A and ensure that it accompanies the machinery;"
Does the above mean the DoC must be supplied with each piece of equipment, or as John stated: "One full copy should go with every shipment that crosses an EU border, or a Member State border..."?

Not really; that's about 15 lines of text, and you can use quite a small font size. You could also adopt the way calculator instructions are printed - on both sides of an A3 or larger sheet, which is then folded up. > >With the new language requirements, we have to attach to each EUT >approx 25 pages A4 sheets? &. or what? & Most Directives do not require a full DoC to be supplied with every item. Is there any Directive that does? One full copy should go with every shipment that crosses an EU border, or a Member State border (because spurious shipments are coming in through some EU countries, which have been found in Germany and Austria). -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
