Hello @The_Education_Hub_UK,

I’m Pat from Amazon, here to assist you.

Going through your post I understand that you would like to understand what the EC declaration of conformity is.

Thank you for your assistance @NEil.

I would like to answer your question on what this is and provide additional information which might be helpful for you.

EU Declaration of Conformity (DoC)

A Declaration of conformity (DoC) is a document signed by a manufacturer or authorised representative confirming that the product placed in the market complies with applicable EU requirements, and is required for all CE Marked products sold in the EU with few exceptions. The contents of the Declaration of Conformity shall follow the model declarations set out in Annex III to Decision 768/2008/EC or in annexes to applicable legislation.

By the drawing up and signing of the Declaration Conformity, the manufacturer takes responsibility for product compliance with all applicable EU laws.

You should consult applicable legislation to ensure the Declaration of Conformity meets all applicable requirements.

At a minimum, the DoC must clearly include the following information:

• Name and full business address of the manufacturer or that of their authorized representative
• Product’s serial number, model or other unique product identification
• Statement that the brand owner or manufacturer take full responsibility for the declaration
• Means of identification of the product allowing traceability
• The relevant legislation with which the product complies, as well as any harmonised standards or other means used to prove compliance
• Where applicable, details of the notified body (name and number) which carried out the conformity assessment procedure, and reference to issued certificates
• Name, Signature and Position of Person signing
• The date the declaration was issued

When requested, the DoC should be provided in a non-editable format (for example, PDF), and must be signed by a responsible employee of the manufacturer (including the employee’s printed name and position).

Further guidance on the creation of the DoC and the related requirements can be found here.

You can find this information on our help pages.

If you need any further assistance, you can post here so that we or any of the sellers on forum can help you.
