EU Declaration of Conformity
The EU declaration of conformity is a document in which the manufacturer declares on his own responsibility and in his own name in a legally binding manner that his product complies with the applicable EU regulations or EC directives and that the harmonised standards are observed. The EU declaration of conformity must be preceded by the corresponding conformity assessment procedure. Without this declaration of conformity, the product may not be placed on the EU market if it is subject to a regulation or directive.
