Can an example of a TCF be found other than by this expensive route?

Dan,
I have to agree with Rich Nute of HP (message below), but I would like to
add to it.
Unless you have had experience creating a decent TCF and have a good
example
of one, it would be wise, at least once, to use a NB. This way you would
have a nice example of a document.

Can anyone explain the advantages/disadvantages of going through a notified
body for CE Mark as opposed to self certifying? It costs a load of money
to
retain the services of a notified body and I was wondering what you really
get from it.
Thanks,
Dan

Its a business decision.
Assuming the documentation takes the same amount of time,
regardless whether a NCB or you...
If you use a NCB, your company pays them for their work and
their profit. You can do something else.
If you prepare a TCF, your company pays you for the work, but
doesn't pay anyone any profit. You should be faster than the
NCB (since you know your product well). So it should be less
costly to do the TCF. But, you can't do something else.
What do you get from the NCB? A document.
What do you have with a TCF? A document.
The only advantage of using the NCB is that the document might
be less prone to a critical review by authorities than a TCF.
If you are going to other countries outside the EU, a CB
Certificate and Test Report can be used to quickly and
reasonably obtain any necessary certifications. Otherwise,
its one test per country.
Best regards,
Rich
