Overview
The EU Declaration of Conformity is the document where a manufacturer formally states that a product meets every piece of EU legislation that applies to it. It is signed, and one declaration can cover several applicable laws at once.
The document names the specific directives and regulations the product is declared against, and it lists the standards the manufacturer used to show compliance. It identifies the product and the company taking responsibility.
What it contains
Where it fits
The declaration is the formal statement that justifies the CE marking. Sitting underneath it is the technical documentation, the evidence file that backs up what the declaration claims. For a product under RoHS, the declaration cites RoHS among the legislation applied.
