Hi Darrell, I enclosed official response from DG3 to the same question from November 1998. Manufacturer is responsible to draw up EC DoC and sign it as well, regardless of residency.
Mirko Matejic ENCLOSURE: From: elena.santi...@dg3.cec.be Sent: Friday, November 13, 1998 1:11 AM To: mmate...@foxboro.com Subject: Re: DOC Signatory The manufacturer is obliged to understand both the design and construction of the product to be able to take the responsibility for the product, i.e. for it being in compliance with all provisions of the relevant New Approach directive(s). As regards conformity assessment, the manufacturer's responsibility depends on the procedure applied. As a general rule, the manufacture must take all measures necessary to ensure that the manufacturing process assures compliance of the products (e.g. to operate a quality system), to affix the CE marking to the product, to establish a technical documentation and to draw up EC declaration of conformity. New Approach directives do not require the manufacturer to be established in the Community. Thus, the responsibilities of a manufacturer established outside the Community are equal to those of a manufacturer established in a Member State.
