Joe, I haven't seen any replies to this query so will just put in my ha-peth (cent) for what it's worth.
> In order to declare conformity to New Approach Directives, the manufacturer > places the CE mark on the product and issues a Declaration of Conformity. > How does a manufacturer declare compliance to the WEEE/RoHS? The RoHS Directive is basically a legal requirement that certain substances are not used and is therefore just like other legislation. No CE mark is necessary. The WEEE Directive is more specific to specified industrial sectors basically specifying how waste and its recovery is to be dealt with. Again, no CE mark is necessary. A Directive still under discussion is the Eco-design of End Use Equipment. This is to present "a framework for the integration of environment aspects in the design and development and for setting eco-design requirements" This will require conformity assessment against harmonised standards. Presumably a Technical File must be produced to contain data that details environmental characteristics and performance of a product, disposal at end-of-life, the ecological profile of the product, etc... This WILL require to be CE marked to show conformance to the requirements.
