<div class="col"> <div id="main-article"> <p> The technical documentation provides information on the <strong>design</strong>, <strong>manufacture</strong>, and <strong>operation</strong> of a product and must contain all the details necessary to demonstrate the product conforms to the applicable requirements. </p> <p> If <strong>you are the manufacturer</strong>, there are certain rules that must be followed when placing a product on the market; you must: </p> <ul> <li> prepare the technical documentation <strong>before placing a product on the market</strong> </li> <li> ensure the technical documentation is made available to the market surveillance authorities (should they request to see it) <strong>as soon as the product is placed on the market</strong> </li> <li> keep the technical documentation for 10 years <strong>from the date the product is placed on the market </strong>(unless explicitly specified otherwise) </li> </ul> <p> The technical documentation is necessary to prove the product meets the essential requirements and therefore justify and support an <strong>EU declaration of conformity</strong>. You need this documentation in order to affix the <a data-linkid="0030a8b1-c34f-415c-a189-bff5d8e60dba" data-master-href="https://europa.eu/youreurope/business/product-requirements/labels-markings/ce-marking/index_en.htm" href="https://europa.eu/youreurope/business/product-requirements/labels-markings/ce-marking/index_en.htm" title="CE marking">CE marking</a> to the product. </p> <h2> How to draw up the technical documentation? </h2> <p> The technical documentation should include at least: </p> <ul> <li> your name and address, or those of any authorised representatives </li> <li> a brief description of the product </li> <li> identification of the product, for example, the product's serial number </li> <li> the name(s) and address(es) of the facilities involved in the design and manufacture of the product </li> <li> the name and address of any <a data-linkid="ab01da6e-62ba-4e29-bcbf-4fca18a3f256" data-master-href="https://europa.eu/youreurope/business/product-requirements/compliance/conformity-assessment/index_en.htm" href="https://europa.eu/youreurope/business/product-requirements/compliance/conformity-assessment/index_en.htm" title="notified body">notified body</a> involved in assessing the conformity of the product </li> <li> a statement of the <a data-linkid="ab01da6e-62ba-4e29-bcbf-4fca18a3f256" data-master-href="https://europa.eu/youreurope/business/product-requirements/compliance/conformity-assessment/index_en.htm" href="https://europa.eu/youreurope/business/product-requirements/compliance/conformity-assessment/index_en.htm" title="conformity assessment procedure">conformity assessment procedure</a> that has been followed </li> <li> the EU declaration of conformity </li> <li> label and instructions of use </li> <li> a statement of relevant regulations to which the product complies </li> <li> identification of technical standards with which compliance is claimed </li> <li> list of parts </li> <li> test results </li> </ul> <p> As a manufacturer, you <strong>should be able to demonstrate</strong> where and how the various parts of the document are held and maintained. </p> <p> You can usually choose in which language you want to prepare the technical documentation.

If requested, you can also provide it in electronic format. </p> <h3> Risk assessment </h3> <p> As a manufacturer, you are responsible for identifying all the <strong>possible risks </strong>your product could pose and <strong>determine the applicable <a data-linkid="fe5d1e62-0b8c-4a65-8522-eeaa114cc4b1" data-master-href="https://europa.eu/youreurope/business/product-requirements/compliance/identifying-product-requirements/index_en.htm" href="https://europa.eu/youreurope/business/product-requirements/compliance/identifying-product-requirements/index_en.htm">essential requirements</a>. </strong>This analysis <strong>must be included in the technical documentation</strong>.

By signing the DoC you take <strong>full responsibility</strong> for your product's compliance with the applicable EU law. </p> <h3> How to draw up a declaration of conformity </h3> <p> As a manufacturer, it is your responsibility to draw up the <strong><a href="https://ec.europa.eu/docsroom/documents/9781/attachments/1/translations" data-linkid="19444137-4d96-4c81-8f53-7ec8027e7bdc">EU declaration of <span class="label-end"><span>conformity</span><svg focusable="false" aria-label="Open as an external link"> <title>Open as an external link</title> <use href="/youreurope/citizens/images/ecl/ecl-eu-icons.svg#external"></use></svg></span></a></strong>(DoC).
