Good questions Santo. Our particular RTTE products do not have user manuals perse since they are professionally installed and there are no user controls. Therefore, the DoC is on a single sheet of paper in the box. There are some that have advocated providing information to the user that says the DoC is available at a website. However, it is not clear that is a legal approach.

If you are not going to put the D of C in the users manual to satisfy the RTTE directive requirement of having a D of C with the product, is there another more elegant place to put it. Any other suggestions would be interesting to note. How about the idea of putting an online link to where the DOC could be found. Do you think that would meet the RTTE requirement of D of c with product.

There may be a particular directive that may have this requirement, but I don't beleive that it is the LV, EMC nor the RTTE Directives. The RTTE Directive does require that a copy of the DoC be included with the product, but there is no requirement that it be included in the user manual.

The D of C must be signed by the responsible person designated by the manufacturer. The signatory does not have to be located in the EU. The manufacturer must designate a representative in the EU who will hold the certificate and the technical file. This could be an agent, distributor. A copy of the D of C that states the directives complied with must be placed in the user manual. Note, this does not have to be signed, but it must state where the signed original can be obtained. i.e. the EU representative's contact details.

Is there a clear consensus? Thanks, Derek N.
