hello Rich( ?), If your question is ce-related, and you have opted for route 10.1, so-called self-certification route, you just have to re-declare on a new form(**) the compliance of your new model, referring to the test results of the old model . In your technical file, you should include a form stating that the model number changed, and no technical modifications have been carried out. The reliability of this method depends on the accuracy that any modifications have been documented after testing and before model number change. The whole procedure is necessary only for legal and government inspection reasons. If the documentation of test-report - engineering change orders - ce-technical file is credible, no-one will ask further questions about the model number.
No section covers this, but it follows from the declaration you made up referring to an older model number, and simply having no declaration for the new model. In terms of the ce-directive a new model number is a new apparatus. **) the form is called "Declaration of Conformity" and both the EN45000 series and ISO 25 explain about the information herein. Very simple though, Manufacturer / Model - ID / test report number / harmonized standards/ date and signature. Of course the text should state thet your product complies. You can make it as pretty as you like or as simple as you are lazy :<). On our web site we have a simple example available for download : htt://ww.cetest.nl/decl.htm Regards, Ing.

It is my understanding that if you change the model number of a product you may have to re-certify it. Does anybody know of the section which covers this? [email protected]
