Documentation & Compliance Consulting
Declaration of Conformity
A legally sound EU Declaration of Conformity referencing the right directives, standards, and responsible person.
Overview
What this service is
The Declaration of Conformity is the single legal statement that backs your CE mark. It names the directives applied, the harmonised standards used, the manufacturer or authorised representative, and the natural person who signs for it. Get it wrong and the product can be pulled from the market — even if every underlying test passed.
We draft DoCs that reference the correct annexes, cite the correct editions of the standards, and consolidate multiple directives in the single document format the EU now expects.
Scope
What's included
- Drafting per directive-specific format requirements
- Verification of cited harmonised standards and their current editions
- Responsible person identification (manufacturer or authorised representative)
- Multi-directive declarations consolidated into a single document
- Signature-ready file with revision control
Deliverables
What you receive
Why it matters
The cost of skipping it
The DoC is the legal statement that backs your CE mark. A defective DoC voids your right to sell in the EU — irrespective of whether the underlying product is compliant.
Who it's for
Typical clients
Manufacturers preparing first shipment, authorised representatives signing on behalf of a non-EU manufacturer, and teams updating DoCs after a directive or standard revision.

FAQ
Common questions
Can the DoC reference standards that aren't on the harmonised list? +
Yes, but we flag them clearly — they carry less presumption of conformity and may attract questions from surveillance authorities.
Do you handle the UKCA equivalent? +
Not currently. We focus on EU and EEA market placement.
