In terms of a DoC for C-Tick compliance, the regulations do not specify who must sign however the "Information to Supplier" type guides advise it should be "a senior person in the company or organization". In reality, suppliers of C-Tick products are quite often the importers of the product and have limited, if any, technical knowledge. The regulations requiring marking with the C-Tick essentially require the person who signs the DoC be the person who has satisfied themselves the product does indeed comply with C-tick requirements (i.e. obtained the necessary documentation and reviewed it to satisfy themselves the product complies). My advice is generally similar to John Woodgate's, i.e. the person signing a DoC with respect to C-Tick compliance should be someone who is not necessarily very technical but someone who: - has satisfied themselves the product complies by personally reviewing the compliance documentation required by C-tick regulations etc; and - who is senior enough to have control over the supply of the product

I'm wondering who should sign the CE and C-Tick DoC. Does it have to be someone in upper management? Is there any written requirement?
