another factor to consider while analyzing the request for DoC translation. Some EU countries, for example France, have language laws, dictating all information available to the user to be translated to an official language. This by default will cover DoC. This is particularly important for consumer products. In my previous life I have to deal with French officials demanding DoC and entire manuals, not just install/setup guide to be translated into French.

The RoHS recast directive has the same requirement, which is now in effect. We translated our DoCs into the five most common languages of the EU countries where we ship and made them available if anyone asks (an English version goes with the equipment). So far no one has asked for a translated copy. Patty Knudsen Teradata From: Jim Hulbert [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, May 30, 2014 8:13 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [PSES] Translation of EU Declaration The re-cast EMCD and LVD both state that the EU declaration must be translated into the language required by a member state into which the apparatus is to be made available. Does that mean a product sold throughout the EU must have a declaration translated into all 20+ languages?
