The unique aspect of the problem here is that the "unique DoC" issue seems embedded in the New Legislative Frame (NLF) legislation, the ideas of which are being promulgated across all CE marking directives one by one. If you squash it in RTTE it will still pop up in LVD unless the NLF gets changed.

The NLF Regulation 765/2008 doesn't mention DoC, and the body of the NLF Decision 768/2008 clearly does not require each item to have its own DoC. The DoC is always referred to as 'DoC of the product type' (or 'product model').

The problem appears to arise in the loose wording of Annex III of the Decision:

 ANNEX III
EC DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY
1. No … (unique identification of the product):

What does 'product' mean here? The individual item or the 'product type' or 'product model'.

Since the body of the Decision always refers to the product type or model, and ***doesn't require a copy of the DoC to accompany every individual item***, it seems impossible to interpret point 1 of the Annex to mean other than the (unique) 'model number' or 'sales code' or 'catalogue number' of the product type.
