I agree with Dave here, but I will say that Turkey sometimes will demand a copy of a EMC report and they will note discrepancies like this. That has been an issue that I have faced within the last year. Since Turkey is not a member state of the EU they don’t follow the same EU procedures all the time. They claim they want ‘CE’ declarations and if they don’t like something they will look at reports and then they see things like this and start to dig. It has caused us to step back and simplify some of our documentation to try and curb these types of quests.

I don’t see directives listed in my lab test reports. The DoC should identify the applicable directives and the standards used to support compliance with the directives. An EU Customs official wouldn’t normally be looking at your test reports unless there is a formal request for the technical file. The lab test reports shouldn’t accompany the product shipment/paper work. -Dave From: Chuck McDowell [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, June 15, 2015 3:03 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [PSES] EU Customs and EMC test report Dear Compliance Professionals, Does a EMC test report issued by a accredited testing laboratory need to also reference the current EMC Directive 2004/108/EC? My belief is that the EMC Directive needs to noted on the product Declaration of Conformity, and not in the EMC test report. Is this correct? A EU Customs official stop a shipment because the EMC Directive noted in the EMC test report was out-of-date. I would like to remove EMC Directive dated notations from future reports.
