What it means

The Declaration of Conformity (DoC) is the central document in which a manufacturer declares that a product complies with all applicable EU legislation. It must identify the manufacturer, the product, all relevant directives and the applied standards, and be signed by the responsible person. A product may not be marketed in the EU without a valid Declaration of Conformity.
