named This regime is named, not quoted: what it covers and the documents it expects are described in our own words, and no requirement text is reproduced. On the sheet its chip is outlined; a product whose regimes are all named stands as reference.
What it expects in the file
- Technical file
The technical documentation: design, drawings, bill of materials, the standards applied, the conformity assessment route, and the evidence that the requirements are met. Kept for the retention period the regime sets, typically ten years from the last unit placed on the market. - Labelling and instructions
Markings on the product and packaging (conformity mark, identification, warnings, manufacturer and importer details) and the instructions and safety information in the language of the market. - Registrations
Producer, establishment, device or product registrations in the databases the regime names (EUDAMED, EPREL, CPNP, the WEEE and battery registers, FDA registration and listing).
Duties that continue after sale
- Producer responsibility for take-back
Keep producer registrations current in each market, report the quantities placed, and finance collection and treatment of the product and its batteries at end of life. - Substance list watching
Track additions to the restricted and candidate substance lists, re-check supplier declarations against them, and update customer communication and labels when a substance in the product is added.
