Does the hardware itself require a label that shows the address of the EU representative? Both must be on the DoC (if different) but if the two get separated then what do you do? Didn't we have a discussion a few months back about the EU proposing that the EU representative is marked on every piece of Electrical Equipment? Refresh my memory. The Other Brian

Both countries ask for items above and beyond the minimum requirements. I have a folder set up for each country just waiting for the call from our importer that they are asking one of the several questions that come up. The question I would have is whether the DoC was rejected because the original manufacturer was not listed. I recently rewrote our DoC's and in checking the requirements of the directives to make sure I got everything I needed I noticed that 2 addresses are required on my DoC. We design and manufacture in the USA so our name and address is required and our office in the EU is required as our local representative. So, I used our letterhead that includes both addresses.

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 Douglas E Powell [email protected] http://www.linkedin.com/in/dougp01 -----Original Message----- From: John Woodgate Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2013 3:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [PSES] Rejected Manufacturer Declarations In message <[email protected]>, dated Thu, 14 Nov 2013, Douglas Nix <[email protected]> writes: > 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. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only. With best wishes.
