TMP6EVM: CE/EU Declaration of Conformity (aka EU DoC) required

Hi Chris,

We currently do not have a CE/EU Declaration of Conformity to provide for the TMP6EVM.

Jalen

Hello

Thank you for your initial response, I am going to need further clarification, please.

CE/EU Declaration of Conformity are mandatory for products that are CE certified/marked. And CE is mandatory for the products to be suitable to the EU market if the product is under one (or more of the CE directive calling for CE marking)

Could you please kindly clarify the points below:

1. If the product is not CE certified/marked?

2. And if not CE certified/marked:

a) Are you saying that this product is not destined for the EU market?

or 

b) Is the product somehow outside the scope of the CE requirement? 

If the latter, please kindly explain how CE is not required for this circuit board.

Important: All similar Temperature Sensor Development Tools from Texas Instruments I have come across so far have been identified by Texas Instruments as under the scope of CE marking requirement (and with CE/EU Declarations of Conformity accordingly) - such as :
TMP103EVM (T.I CE/EU Declaration of Conformity click HERE),
TMP116EVM (T.I CE/EU Declaration of Conformity Click HERE 
TMP1827EVM ((T.I CE/EU Declaration of Conformity Click HERE)

3. Is this SKU (TMP6EVM) sold with a USB cable?

Thank you so much, in advance for your support,

Chris,

This EVM was developed about 5 years ago, I'll have to take a look back to get answers to your questions. Please give me a day to find answers.

Thanks,

Jalen

Hello Jalen

In your response, you advised there is no CE/EU Declaration of Conformity for TMP6EVM. You advised the product is not CE, I understand the USB cable is not CE either.

1. Products under the scope of CE marking requirements, that are not CE marked, are not suitable to be placed on the EU market.

2. Only products that are under the scope of CE can be CE marked/certified.

3. We know that similar other Temperature Sensor Development Tools from T.I. (ref example from my previous message) are under the scope of CE (and CE certified), which would lead to the conclusion that this product is also under the scope of CE.

--> Consequently am I right to understand that this product TMP6EVM is therefore not suitable for the EU markets and should not be offered to consumers in the EU market?

If my understanding is not correct, please kindly explain how CE would not apply to this product.

Thank you

Chris,

Let me take a look into whether there is history of a DoC certificate being generated or if there was any mistake on CE marking of this product.

Hello Jalen,

I hope the example I provided you in our previous exchange, of the other similar boards with CE and EU Declaration of Conformity will help you.

I will wait to hear back from you. Thank you

Chris,

Yes, I will get back with you when I get further details.

Thanks,

Jalen

Hi Jalen

Can you please confirm i understood T.I plan / your previous message above correctly:

Do you mean that T.I is planning on getting the product CE and providing the EU Declaration of Conformity? 

And if yes, it it the EU Declaration of Conformity that you estimated will take a couple of months to be ready?

Hi Jalen

Thank you very much for the clarification.

CE marking (and EU Declaration of Conformity) is obligatory for products for which EU specifications exist and require the affixing of CE marking.
Equally, it is forbidden to affix CE marking to other products.

See source: https://single-market-economy.ec.europa.eu/single-market/ce-marking_en

You confirmed in your message above that the product is under the scope of CE and will be CE certified in about 4-6 weeks.

Consequently, I would therefore understand that until the product is CE certified, it is not suitable for the EU markets.

Please can you confirm if my understanding is correct?

If not please explain further.

Chris

Hi Jalen

So, doe that mean that T.I is going to stop offering this product to the EU market until certification is complete?
