What it means

Technical documentation (Technical File) is the complete set of records that proves a product meets the applicable requirements. It typically includes a product description, design drawings, risk analyses, test reports, applied standards, and the Declaration of Conformity. The documentation must be kept for at least 10 years and be available to market surveillance authorities on request.
