Re: CE technical file format
Gary, I presume you mean the EMC Technical Construction File. There is an illustrative appendix in a document issued by the UK's Department of Trade and Industry as a "guide to manufacturers". I used it to generate an outline TCF. I will try to dig it out and send you a copy.

EU DoC

There will usually be a person or commercial body "established within the EU" who puts the product on the market. This person or body will be responsible for the DoC or the TCF. However, the text of the Directive does allow that neither the manufacturer nor his authorised representative is established within the Community. What then would be the status of an individual importing a product for personal use and not placing the apparatus on the Community market? The Directive does not appear to say much about this situation (probably rightly so). -- Regards, Phil Ford phil_f...@uk.xyratex.com tel +44 (0)1705 443255fax +44 (0)1705 499315 Xyratex, Langstone Road, Havant, PO9 1SA, United Kingdom

Article 10 of the EMC Directive states: 1. ...shall be certified by an EC declaration of conformity issued by the manufacturer or his authorised representative established within the Community. ... Where neither the manufacturer nor his authorised representative is established within the Community, the above obligation to keep the EC declaration of conformity available shall be the responsibility of the person who places the apparatus on the Community market. The same requirements are then applied to the Technical Construction File. Unless there is something else I have missed, the manufacturer, his authorised representative and the person who keeps the DoC could all be resident outside the EU. -- Regards, Phil Ford phil_f...@uk.xyratex.com tel +44 (0)1705 443255fax +44 (0)1705 499315 Xyratex, Langstone Road, Havant, PO9 1SA, United Kingdom
