A Declaration of Conformity (DoC), also known as a Declaration of Conformity, is a document used to demonstrate that a product complies with the legal requirements and regulations that apply to the product in question.
The DoC is issued by the manufacturer or the manufacturer's representative and contains information about the product, the standards and regulations it complies with, and the test methods used. The DoC is usually required for products sold in the European Union and other countries that have similar regulations.
The DoC is intended to reassure consumers and authorities that a product is safe and complies with relevant regulations. The lack of a DoC can lead to sales bans or other legal consequences for the manufacturer or distributor.
Is a CE statement the same as a Declaration of Confirmity?
A CE statement is a type of Declaration of Conformity (DoC) used specifically for products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA).
The CE marking indicates that the product complies with the applicable European directives and standards in the field of safety, health and the environment. The CE marking is placed on the product itself or on the packaging and is supported by a corresponding DoC drawn up by the manufacturer or importer and based on the applicable EU regulations.
So to answer your question: A CE declaration is a type of DoC, specifically used for products within the EEA, but other types of DoCs also exist, depending on the regulations that apply to the product and the place where it is is sold.
