Test reports from an accredited or accepted laboratory against the standards the technical file names, tied to the exact model and revision tested. - 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. - 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.
