DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY

DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY IS REQUIRED FOR ALL PRODUCTS.

The Declaration of Conformity is the formal safety guarantee of the product and assumption of responsibility issued by who put a product into the European Market.

All directives request that the product is accompanied by the Declaration of Conformity.

The only exception is the Regulation 305/2011/EC concerning construction products that requests the Declaration of Performance.

IN-DEPTH

HIGHLIGHTS OF DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY

The manufacturer if resident in Europe or his authorized representative (if the manufacturer is not a resident of the EEC) has to issue the Declaration of Conformity through which it is certified that the product complies with certain specific directives and standards.

CEAdvice can help you in the correct drawing up of the Declaration of Conformity (or Declaration of Performance if you manage a construction product).

THE ESSENTIAL HEALTH AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS SHOULD BE
SATISFIED AND FORMALLY DEMONSTRATED FOR ALL PRODUCTS PLACED INTO THE EUROPEAN MARKET.

DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY IS A DOCUMENT CONTAINED IN THE TECHNICAL FILE

WITHOUT DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY A PRODUCT CANNOT LEGALLY BE PLACED ON THE EUROPEAN MARKET

EVEN WHEN THE CE MARKING IS NOT REQUIRED, THE DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY HAS TO BE MADE

SPECS

How to prepare the Declaration of Conformity?

All directives explain how the Declaration of Conformity has to be drawn up.

It has to be contained in the technical file and always has to include:

– manufacturer’s data and its legal representative;

– the general description of the product;

– the directives and regulations that the product respects;

– production data (lot, batch, registration number, last two digits of the year of production, voltage where relevant, power where relevant);

– date and signature of the legal representative.

The Declaration of Conformity is necessary, but it is not sufficient, it does not replace and must not be confused with the CE Marking.

Note: in construction products and only for them, the Declaration of Conformity is replaced by the Declaration of Performance.
