Perhaps because the authors of the other Directives did not consider that legal point. It may be in the MD because someone specifically asked for it.

ok, but why for only the MD, and not the rest? - curious....

    I think it's because the compiler must be subject to EU law, or
    that of a Member State, but the digital document can be stored
    anywhere as long as it is reasonably accessible.

    Hello folks. Hope you are all enjoying the festive season thus far!

    I was wondering if any of you knew the rationale behind
    requirement #2 in the Machinery Directive and why the other
    directives do not have this? (as you can see, this is over &
    above the authorized rep (#10) signing the DoC).

    Excerpt below:

    /A. EC DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY OF THE MACHINERY
    /
    /
    /
    /*_2. name and address of the person authorised to compile the
    technical file, who must be established in the Community;_*
    /
    /
    /
    /10. the identity and signature of the person empowered to draw
    up the declaration on behalf of the manufacturer or his
    authorised representativ/e.

    It's odd because in Annex VII, in section 2, it states:

    /_The technical file does not have to be located in the territory
    of the Community, nor does it have to be permanently available in
    material form. However, it must be capable of being assembled and
    made available within a period of time commensurate with its
    complexity by the person designated in the EC declaration of
    conformity._/

    So, a European must compile it but he can store it somewhere in
    i.e. Timbuktu......... strange.
