According to EU regulations, manufacturers are currently qualified to draft EU conformity declaration documents. Manufacturers can generally refer to product manufacturers or brand owners, that is, product or brand owners, before they can draft EU conformity declaration documents. Sex declaration file.

The EU clauses are as follows:

   Manufacturers play a vital role in ensuring the safety of products placed on the European Economic Area (EEA) expanded single market. They are responsible for checking whether their products comply with EU safety, health and environmental protection requirements. The manufacturer is responsible for the conformity assessment, the establishment of technical documents, the release of the EU declaration of conformity and the CE mark on the product. Only in this way can the product be traded on the EEA market.

4. Matters needing attention in pasting the CE mark on the product

(2) Verify product specific requirements

(3) Determine whether an independent conformity assessment (conducted by a designated agency) is required

(4) Test the product and check its eligibility

(5) Draft and keep the required technical documents

(6) Affix the CE mark and draft the EU declaration of conformity

5. Who should sign the DoC documents?

The significance of the DoC declaration of conformity document is to express that the manufacturer or brand of the product is fully responsible for the compliance of their products with the EU's compliance clauses, and is a self-declaration document.

According to the relevant EU policy guidance documents, the European generation does not need to sign the DoC conformity declaration document.

Although the DoC declaration of conformity is a very simple and easy to handle declaration document on the surface, its significance in EU countries is as important as the CE certification, which determines whether the product can be sold on the market. Before the EU Product Compliance Act was officially implemented, the Amazon platform continued to crack down on non-compliant CE-marked products. Therefore, sellers still need to pay attention to this aspect.
