Hi Chris,
I am afraid we do not have this, what is it used for?

Hello Tao
Of course, I shall explain:
The request is because of the legal obligations put on the manufacturer (you / T.I) and the importer (us / Mouser USA):
When a manufacturer applies the CE marked to their product, they are obliged to draw the CE/EU Declaration of conformity, engaging their sole responsibility on the CE compliance of the product they claim CE for.
This obligation is expressed in all the CE directives, i.e. in the ROHS Directive 2011/65/EU included:
The manufacturer also must ensure the CE/EU Declaration of Conformity is kept up to date and they keep it in their records for 10 years from the last sales. To access the ROHS directive click HERE - please refer to Article 7, under Obligation of the manufacturer, points c and d.
Mouser USA is a distributor for Texas Instruments and is also the importer when selling the products into the EU.
The importer has a similar obligation to the manufacturer, i.e. they must have the CE/EU Declaration of Conformity in file for all products bearing the CE mark that they offer to the EU /UK markets, and keep these CE/EU Declarations of Conformity in file for 10 years from last sales.
Not having the CE/EU Declaration of Conformity is a breach of compliance, both for Texas Instrument, the manufacturer, and us, Mouser USA.
We recently identified that the product (active in our portfolio) was CE marked and that we did not have the EU Declaration of Conformity from T.I in our records, hence the request for your support.
I trust the above is sufficient as an explanation but you can also find more information on the CE compliance requirement and obligations of the manufacturer of CE-marked products in the EU Blue guide - access HERE
Thank you
Hi Chris,
I think i got your point but i am afraid it will take us a very long time to get the CE declaration. Also, as it is really old device, i think we will not try to get CE declaration for TPS630702EVM.

Hello Tao
I appreciate the product was first launched a while ago, however, it is not obsolete, it is still being produced by T.I. as far as I understand. Mouser also still has stock in hand.
Typically., the product would be CE because under the scope of the ROHS directive, so T.I. would only need the evidence that the product is ROHS compliant to issue the EU Declaration of Conformity.
Example similar product TPS63070EVM-693 - see link access: TPS63070EVM-693 EU Declaration of Conformity (DoC)
Also, we have encountered other cases with old existing T.I products, that were CE marked but missing the CE/EU Declaration of Conformity, and T.I. has always worked to fill in the compliance gap and issue the required document.
-- Example 1) MMWAVEPOEEVM (another Power Management IC Development Tools) an old, yet still active board that was in a similar situation, i.e. CE marked by T.I. but the CE/EU Declaration was missing. After reviewing, the T.I team in charge of this product addressed and issue the CE/EU Declaration of Conformity - see link access: MMWAVEPOEEVM EU Declaration of Conformity (DoC)
-- Example 2) LMX2694EPEVM (different product but same situation), i.e. again an old yet also still active T.I product which was missing the CE/EU Declaration of Conformity. I raised the request and the T.I. team in charge of the product organised for the EU Declaration to be issued. See link access: LMX2694EPEVM EU Declaration of Conformity (DoC)
Considering the product is still active at T.I. and that this is a legal requirement, I would not understand the reason you would not request the EU Declaration to be issued for the compliance gap to be resolved. I must please ask that you review internally with your compliance team.
Thank you in advance for your support,
Hi Chris,
Got it. Let me have a discussion internal and feed you back ASAP.

Hi Chris,
I am sorry to tell that we are out of resources to do this declaration after a discussion with my supervisor. As mentioned, it is really an old device and will take us a long time.
