Technical Documentation
We can advise and help you with the process of producing and maintaining the Technical Documentation required for products you manufacture which fall within the scope of the EMC Directive (2014/30/EU).
Technical Documentation must demonstrate that a product (or product family) meets the essential requirements of the 2016 Electromagetic Compatibility Regulations.
Manufacturers Technical Documentation has to include
- A description of the product (this will be needed in any case for an instruction manual or publicity materials)
- Evidence of compliance of the apparatus with the essential EMC requirements (usually by testing to harmonised standards)
- For more complicated products, evidence may include: EMC Management, Control and Test Plans
Extended Justification will be needed:
- For equipment lacking applicable designated or harmonised standards
- For cases where the manufacturer has only applied a standard in part
- For large equipment or installed systems where testing to standards is impractical and on-site or in-situ testing has to be performed
- Where there are a large number of product variants and individual testing is uneconomic
As a manufacturer’s option a Notified Body report can be included, which independently assesses all or part of the Technical Documentation.
