Our interpretation and how we always treat such issues is, as the seller of the
equipment you are responsible to ensure it meets the requirements of the Low
Voltage and EMC directive. As you are re badging it, you will need to draw up
your own DOCs. Off course you can base your conformity to the directives on the
DOC provided with the original product. If you were not re badging, then no new
DOC required.
Simple rule, if your name is on the front, you are claming responsibility for
the
product.
