For lawyers, everything is either impossible or eminently possible,
sometimes for the same issue and the same lawyer.

“But Sir, they’re not doing it” isn’t a defence in court or when
you’re equipment is stuck in customs, or a competitor has pointed
market enforcement authorities in your direction
The key phrase is “…or, *_where that is not possible,_* on its
packaging or in a document accompanying the apparatus…..”
To my knowledge there’s no guidance anywhere as to “what is possible”,
so it’s probably up to you and your lawyers 😊

*Subject:* [PSES] Postal address on product labelling...
Does anyone else have endless arguments about the need to put a postal
address on products as per the EMC and LVD requirements? The EMC
directive obliges the following (article 7.6 of 2014/30/EU). The LVD
also had the exact same obligation (article 6.6 of 2014/35/EU);
?Manufacturers shall indicate, on the apparatus, their name,
registered trade name or registered trade mark and the postal address
at which they can be contacted or, where that is not possible, on its
packaging or in a document accompanying the apparatus. The address
shall indicate a single point at which the manufacturer can be
contacted. The contact details shall be in a language easily
understood by end-users and market surveillance authorities.?
Manufacturer is, of course, meaning the entity responsible for the
product denoted by the brand name present on the apparatus.
And every time I encounter this advice being questioned someone always
says 'But [some large entities/corporations supplying consumer
products - you can pick your own example] don't put their address on
their products.' Well they should! Maybe those devices with screens
allow you to look up the address somewhere in the operating system?
Humph!
Sorry just letting off steam :-)
