In addition, the authorities (market surveillance) will Manufacturers and importers issue comments to produce doc in the event of an accident or interference problem. If you produce OEM products, Doc may promote your customers' acceptance of your products.
matters needing attention
CE certification can make use of self declaration for most products. At this time, the manufacturer or its authorized representative agency of EU shall sign the "self declaration of conformity". The content of the declaration of conformity varies according to different directives. It should be noted that the declaration of conformity must be prepared according to the instructions. If there are two applicable directives for a product, two copies of the declaration of conformity shall be prepared and signed respectively.
Many enterprises think that the CE mark can be used if they get the CE certificate of a testing agency or certification body, which is a misunderstanding. Since it is a self declaration, the enterprise itself is responsible for the use of the CE mark, and the CE certificate issued by a third party organization is only indirect proof. However, if the CE certificate is issued by an EU designated agency, there is no need to issue a self declaration.
It is not enough to sign the conformity statement. The manufacturer must also submit TCF (technical construction file) of technical organization, including test report, product technical description, circuit diagram and other technical documents or files to prove that the product is technically in accordance with the requirements of the directive. It is also important to prepare a qualified technical file. The fee charged by the EU designated agency for TCF preparation is the same as the fee for issuing certificate (excluding test fee).
When the manufacturer signs the conformity declaration and attaches the TCF that meets the requirements, the manufacturer can use the CE mark on the product. At present, there are many CE certificates that are not recognized by European customers or management agencies, mainly due to the lack of understanding of the CE marking system.
