A quick question. A manufacturer established outside the EU placing product on the market in the EU can but does not have to have an authorized representative within the EU.? Is this a correct statement?
AND; The Machinery Directive requires the name and address of the person authorized to compile the technical file be established in the EU and listed on the EU DoC. But this person is not referred to as the "authorized representative", even though it may be the same person. This "person" appears to have no responsibilities other than compiling and making available the technical file to Authorities within the Member States. Is this also True? Confirm that the EMC and LVD directives do not require the person responsible for compiling the technical file to be within the EU.? So if true, the EU DoC from a manufacturer outside the EU declaring only to the EMC and LVD does not have to list any "person" from within the EU.? Is this true? It appears that sometimes these two responsibilities get confused. Or, maybe it has been confusing only to me.
