I had pretty much nothing else to do this morning so I was reading the new EMC Directive. In Annex IV(2) EC declaration of conformity, it states that the DoC must contain "an identification of the apparatus to which it refers, as set out in Article 9(1)". Article 9(1) states "Each apparatus shall be identified in terms of type, batch, serial number, or any other information allowing for the identification of the apparatus". Is this saying that if serial numbers exist, then they must be on the DoC? I hope not.
I also noticed that Annex IV(2) is mandating "dated references" on the DoCs. This is going to make test houses happy because whenever a test standard changes that affects the apparatus the existing DoC will be noticeably out of date.
