All,

It is interesting that both Turkey and Poland were mentioned, these are to my knowledge not full members of the European community. Could they be nearing full membership and over-exercising due diligence? It is possible they want to see a "certificate" with all the page border filigree. Also possible the inspector training manual had an example and their expectation is all DoC should look like this example.

I have used EN 45014 as a guidance document and I believe the standard even indicates something to this effect, it is guidance. I do not remember if it is mentioned in the context of the CE marking Directive and it is not listed in the harmonized standards. I mainly used it to pull the minimum list of items that must be included. In the early days of CE marking (circa 1995-1997) there was a lot of fraud and the prevailing wisdom was to use company letter head on bond paper and not photocopies.

thanks, –doug

They then claimed that customs inspectors in Poland and Turkey had rejected their declarations because they were on their letterhead

There is a recommended format for European DoCs, EN 45014, and it
doesn't include the manufacturer's letterhead. However, harmless
deviations are disregarded in many countries.
