This is indeed puzzling. The EHSRs are all in Annex I of the Machinery Safety Directive (MSD). When you do a DoC, you are typically implicitly and explicitly declaring compliance with all relevant EHSRs. Annex II of the MSD has the requirements for DoC and DoI. However, if you cite a harmonized standard in your declaration as evidence of compliance with EHSRs, and you do not meet all the requirements of that harmonized standard, I've seen the expectation somewhere (others may know this better than I, but the June 2010 Guideline to the MSD is a pretty good reference) that you list the requirements of the harmonnized standard that you do not comply with. Your email does not make it clear where in the chain of commerce your company falls. This affects whether you have the responsibility to create the DoC.

I am very new to the Machinery Directive and my customer received a non-conformance from their customer about their DoC. It appears that my customer’s distributor generated a DoI, and it appears that it needs to be a DoC and most importantly their complaint is that it should include a list of which EHSRs are met or not met. Where or how do I determine if these are met or not. Is there a good place to reference? Any help is appreciated like I said I am a newbie when it comes to the Machinery Directive.
