There are various ways to prove it, including: the manufacturer's evaluation of the product. Evaluation of the product by the manufacturer, as well as additional requirements for mandatory factory production control audits by third parties.

Assessments carried out by third parties (e.g. EC type tests) require mandatory factory production control audits by third parties.

Stage 4: Assess the conformity of the product.

Once all the requirements have been established, it is necessary to assess whether the product meets the essential requirements of the Directive. This typically involves evaluation and/or testing, which may include assessing whether the product meets the harmonized criteria identified in Step 2.

Stage 5: Compile the technical documentation.

It is necessary to compile technical documentation related to the product or product range, often referred to as technical documentation. This information should cover every aspect related to compliance and may include details of the design, development and manufacture of the product.

Technical documentation typically includes:

Technical SpecificationsDrawings, Circuit Diagrams and Bills of MaterialsMaterial Specifications and Applicable EU Declarations of Conformity for Key Components and MaterialsDetails of any design calculationsTest Reports and or Assessment InstructionsThe EU Declaration of Conformity may be provided with technical documentation in any form (i.e. paper or electronic) and must be kept for up to 10 years after the manufacture of the last unit and in most cases located in the European Economic Area (EEA).
