The first date you can declare compliance with these new Directive is 20 April 2016.
2014/30/EU Article 46 states "....... Article 1, Article 2, points (1) to (8) of Article 3(1), Article 3(2), Article 5(2) and (3), Article 6, Article 13, Article 19(3) and Annex I shall apply from 20 April 2016." 2014/35/EU article 28 states ".... Article 1, the second paragraph of Article 3, Article 5, Article 13(2) and (3) and Annexes I, V and VI shall apply from 20 April 2016." New Directives normally come into force when enacted into National Law of at least one member state, however these Directives, the new Radio Equipment Directive (and presumably the other NLF alignment Directives) are different in that they have a specific "start date" written into the Directive, that will be transposed into National Law along with the rest of the Directive, thus giving the prescribed start date. The changes in EMC and LV are essentially administrative for manufacturers so an "instant" switchover is being implemented. As the RED includes a number of changes, including to its scope, a 12 month transition period is provided. It is (unofficially) recognised that this presents somewhat of an administrative burden and the responsible UK government department (BIS) recently told attendees at a UK EMCTLA seminar hat there was a "Gentleman's agreement" amongst enforcement authorities that no one was going to be too concerned whether DoCs referenced new or existing Directives for the rest of 2016 - but also that you're unlikely to get that in writing from anyone with appropriate authority :) Just to confirm, you are also not allowed to declare to both old and new Directives on a single "catch-all" DoC.

If the later, when can we start declaring to the new directives?

The Europa web page I use to find the link for the latest listing of harmonized standards does not even list the latest revision directives. (http://www.newapproach.org/Directives/DirectiveList.asp) While the earlier revision directives are not repealed until 20 April 2016, these new directives published in 2014 have already entered into force and application. The latest harmonized standard listings I can find are below: * 16 May 2014 for Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=uriserv:OJ.C_.2014.149.01.0033.01.ENG (Does not list EN62368-1 which was published August 2014.) * 16 January 2015 for EMC Directive 2004/108/EC: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=uriserv:OJ.C_.2015.014.01.0001.01.ENG Thanks.
