The Commission has released an updated FAQ for RoHS2

This is one of the documents I studied. It contains this phrase:
"From 2nd January 2013 EEE in scope that bears a CE marking is presumed to be
in conformity with the requirements of RoHS 2 and therefore is presumed not to
contain more than the tolerated maximum concentration values as mentioned in
Annexes II, III and IV of RoHS 2. "
So what about an existing (non-exempt) product, with a DoC created at the time
it was placed on the market? From the language in the official notice I am
inclined to think that it is fine to keep shipping as is. From the above, it
seems that I need to have RoHS2 documentation in place as of last Friday. Which
is correct?
