Brian, I agree with Richard. However, I would like to add one thing. In ensuring continued compliance on your products, I would assume (only because this is what I do) that you at least verified (on a similar in-house sample of the product) that the upgrades did not detrimentily affect the product's original compliance. This should be well documented and placed in your product's compliance folder.

Now you want to sell an upgrade to the equipment. Nothing has changed. You the manufacture are still responsible for ensuring compliance of the upgraded equipment. If the original Declaration did not cover these options, then a new Declaration will be required for the upgraded equipment. Since the upgrades are expressly intended for use with your equipment and not sold on the open market, I don't believe that they need to be CE marked. ---------- From: Brian Harlowe [SMTP:bharl...@vgscientific.com] Sent: Monday, August 02, 1999 11:57 AM To: emc-p...@ieee.org Subject: Upgrades Please can you give me some opinions on the following. I have a customer who has one of our Scientific instruments that he wishes to upgrade. If I supply him with CE marked everything to allow him to carry out this up grade and I also provide him with a detailed manual on how to install and connect up these items to be emc compatible. Do my responsibilities end there and does the customer have to get the instrument re tested and CE mark it?
