It's likely fairly easy for an importer to label the product if they just have a good space to put it.
The new blue guide paints a slightly different picture of when an item is placed on the market vs. imported.

So you may need multiple new labels if the "manufacturer" and "importer" are different. Carefully read the definitions of each. The manufacturer isn't necessarily the actual manufacturer, but could the party who's name/brand appears on the product. The importer is the party who places equipment from outside the EU onto the EU market.

Take a look at Sec 3.1/page 29 of the new Blue Guide( Version 1.1): Not possible applies in the context of the "size or physical characteristics of the products" Also Footnote 85 is relevant. By the way, this requirement predates 2014/35/EU. If your product is in the scope of the RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU), the name and address on the product requirement has been there for several years.

Article 6 section 6 states: "Manufacturers shall indicate on the electrical equipment their name, registered trade name or registered trade mark and the postal address at which they can be contracted or, where that is not possible, on its packaging or in a document accompanying the electrical equipment." This is a new requirement and is causing a panic if we have to change 100's of product labels and /or placards. It has been my view that the postal address on the DoC is the "single point at which the manufacturer can be contacted." Also, the new LVD reads as if there may be multiple addresses required on the product or packaging by the time the product gets to the end-user (manufacturer, importer and possibly others). Here's my shameless attempt to find a loop-hole...who determines what satisfies the "or, where that is not possible," clause? What if the current labeling cannot grow? Or our product management group refuses to allow the aesthetics of the product to get cluttered with another label (closer to the truth)? If the postal address can be shipped with the product, either in an installation instruction or on the DoC, this would be a much more palatable option as opposed to label changes. Any words of wisdom (relating to this topic) would be greatly appreciated.
