Re: [PSES] Definition of Declaration of Conformity

[Anthony Thomson]

Hi Scott,

 

CE Marking and associated Declaration of Conformity is complicated when viewed as a whole but greatly simplifies when considered for just a single product (including variants).

 

It's almost impossible to give a 'universal' answer because whilst there are commonalities between Directives, there are also some very significant differences. If you could be specific about your products, an appropriate concise answer should be possible.

 

One tip, many DoC's are in the public domain on the Internet and a targeted Google search will show you how others do it. For example, suppose you made Bluetooth headsets, try this Google search (including the quotation marks). You'll see plenty of recent (2013-2014) examples of DoC's, including from companies you'd expect to be getting this sort of thing right (but that's no guarantee I hasten to add!). Omit or modify the date range for (yyyy..yyyy) for a broader time-span.

Hope this helps,

Tony.

Subject: [PSES] Definition of Declaration of Conformity

In the field, lots of people such as customers, market surveillances,
customs, etc. are asking for a DoC on particular product and/or its variants
in Europe. What is the exact meaning of the DoC? Is it the one to support
the compliance of CE mark? Or the compliance of all legal requirements
(more than CE mark) relevant to the product. Is there a uniform format
satisfying the essential requirements? Who is the valid issuer? Do they
need to be a company located in Europe?

Thanks and regards,

Scott
