Assembling your product

For the assembly of products in the EU, no specific further requirements arise, but please consider this: 

• Suppliers assembling products for the EU market (based on components, sub-assemblies, etc.) are responsible for the final product and must comply with the EU legislation.
• The manufacturers are responsible for choosing suitable components, sub-assemblies etc. to fulfil all the requirements of the legislation concerning the assembled product, for the EU Declaration of Conformity and the CE marking.

When assembling products for the EU market you must verify, if:   

• The components, sub-assemblies and spare parts comply with the applicable legislation (even if it is CE-marked). 
• The final product itself complies with the product regulation.

The manufacturers of the final product can use the conformity assessment of the components, spare parts and sub-assemblies to create their declaration of conformity (DoC), the conformity assessment and the document of the final product.
