For low voltage many components also need ce marking
to the LVD. Regardless their applicaton or target buyers.

on its own?

For EMC, Mr. Woodgate's reply is relevant, but us component mfrs will find this 
guidance difficult to use. But back to the original question of a 'generic' 
requirement for D of C. Since RoHS is now a marking directive, your widget no 
longer has a basis for bearing the CE mark. Also note that RoHS now has a 
harmonized standard for all to adore, whereas REACH is not yet a marking 
directive and has no harmonized standard to use as basis for presumption of 
conformity.

So my answer is a non-answer. An importer of components for professional 
installation cannot know what type of import enforcement would be applied by 
any particular EFT state, or how any particular official would interpret the 
scope of any directive.

Not much different than for end-use equipment. For my component power supplies 
- simple tabulation of directives and respective standards that were used as 
basis for presumption of conformity to whatever directives.
Then add paragraph for Conditions of Acceptability and intended end-use.

For last several units (more important for my stuff that is intended for PV 
market), added second page for stuff that would be in addition to what is being 
required by EU; for example, electric building code applicability and 
environmental definitions.

Does the document perfectly reflect only the scope per ISO17050 or any 
particular directive? Probably not, as the importance is to use the DoC as 
another opportunity for another vehicle to reinforce certain expectations (that 
would typically only be found in install instructions or spec) for a component.

Does one just state there are no requirements at this level on the DoC, do they 
reference the appropriate directives for safety and EMC for the final product.
We custom design bits and pieces for end customers in EU, and we keep dancing 
around this issue both for ITE and medical devices. It might have a digital 
clock but no way to measure emissions until it's in the final enclosure. The 
end user would then do some final declarations and issue DoC's.
 
We make RoHS and WEEE statements but those are not currently part of our DoC 
for EU  Just what does a DoC for a rock look like if I wanted to ship it?
