Isn't this also a requirement of ISO 17025, which accredited labs should follow?
Section 5.10.2 h) reference of the sampling plan and procedures used by the laboratory or other bodies where these are relevant to the validity or application of the results. Sincerely, Dieter Paasche From: Crane, Lauren [mailto:lauren.cr...@kla-tencor.com] Sent: October 8, 2013 5:46 PM To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: Re: [PSES] EMC Directive Test Plan The description of needing a "test plan" may be a fair summary of the forth bullet in the declaration requirements. 2. EC declaration of conformity The EC declaration of conformity must contain, at least, the following: - a reference to this Directive, - an identification of the apparatus to which it refers, as set out in Article 9(1), - the name and address of the manufacturer and, where applicable, the name and address of his authorised representative in the Community, - a dated reference to the specifications under which conformity is declared to ensure the conformity of the apparatus with the provisions of this Directive, - the date of that declaration, - the identity and signature of the person empowered to bind the manufacturer or his authorised representative. Which the Commission guidance explains (pg35) means... In most cases, the dated references to the specifications under which conformity is declared, will be those of the European harmonised standards that are applicable to the apparatus in question as listed in the OJEU. If European harmonised standards have not been used or only partially, a reference to the manufacturer's technical documentation needs to be included and a reference to any identifiable non-harmonised standards or specifications that have been applied.

I suspect someone in a test lab has been giving you their spin. The Directive requires you to do an assessment, although you can substitute testing for the assessment if you want to. Of course, your assessment may conclude that you need to test. Nick.

I flipped through the directive and guide to 2004/108/EC, and was unable to find this requirement. Did I miss something? Is it just that the manufacturer is supposed to do an EMC assessment?
