Recent threads about Declaration of Conformities has prompted a general
question I would like to get you expert?s opinion on.
What are the pros and cons of publishing DoCs on the Internet off your
company?s website???
I think it's a good idea, but you have to make sure it's in the official
format. Many are not, and publication would point out a technical
violation of the Directive(s) concerned.
On the surface it seems like it would be a good idea; especially since
the information on the DoCs can change from day to day.
Indeed, but at present the use of the Internet to notify changes in DoCs
is not officially recognized. However, where there is a hard case, as in
a current thread about a named person, evidence of publishing on the
Internet could be adduced as evidence of due diligence in overcoming a
paradoxical situation.
There is an important general principle here. There is a tendency to
dismiss the concept of being pro-active in securing one's legal position
at an early stage when an unsatisfactory situation (a problem with a
regulation, Directive or standard, or any other issue) occurs.
But if you think 'up front', 'What could I say in court that would show
my good intentions?' (even if a court case is only remotely possible),
**and document that**, you have at least laid the groundwork for a
vindication if things tend to turn out adversely.
