In simplified terms you need to make sure your product meets all the applicable Directives and test to the standards that apply under those Directives if applicable. This could include but not limited to Safety, EMC RTTE, RoHs, Energy Efficiency etc. as applicable.
There are other options to show compliance but testing to established standards as listed under the applicable Directive is the easiest way to show compliance IMHO You must also create Technical Construction File (TCF) to support your DoC . Be aware the CE Mark must be on your product unless it is too small which allows for marking of packaging and in your user instructions. The CE Mark has some minimum dimensions that must be adhered to. We recently had issues in one of the EU countries as our CE mark was slightly out of registration so some countries can be picky about this. Be aware that this is general guidance and may not be applicable to your product -----Original Message----- From: Scott Xe [mailto:scott...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2014 9:54 AM To: Tyra, John; EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: Re: Definition of Declaration of Conformity Hi John, The info is clear that DoC is required for CE marking. When someone asks for DoC, that is to say a DoC for CE marking? We do not need to put the compliance of other legal requirements.
