THE TECHNICAL FILE

The technical file is the collection of documents relating to the product to which it refers.

A product is safe if it has been designed and manufactured according to the criteria that manufacturers know well and described in rules and directives.

It is necessary to have a means of demonstrating that these criteria have been taken into consideration and respected, therefore it is necessary to create the formal part without which it would be impossible to be able to demonstrate the conformity of the product.

The safety laws of each product require manufacturers to have all documentation which explains the correctness of the production process carried out. This collection of documents is called “technical file”. In other words, the technical file is the written form of everything that has been done.

The technical file is generally composed of:

• risk analysis
• installation, use and maintenance manual
• Declaration of Conformity (or Performance in the case of construction products)
• label
• projects, drawings, calculation reports, diagrams, photos and everything that can illustrate the product and its components
• bill of materials
• list of suppliers
• production control procedures
• testing procedures
• etc.
