| | Q: What are the routes to certification?
A: There are three routes to certification- 1) Self Certification, 2) Technical Construction File, 3) Notified / Competent Body. | | | Q: What is the Self Certification route to conformity?
A: This is where the manufacurer tests the product to the relevant harmonised standards and produces their own internal "Technical File" (note, different to Technical Construction File, TCF) and produces a Declaration of Conformity (DoC). | | | Q: What is the Technical Construction File route to conformity?
A: A Technical Construction File (TCF) is needed when harmonised standards cannot be applied to a product. This can be if no applicable harmonised standard exists or a deviation from an existing standard has to be made because of the special nature of the product, including among other things, its size being too large for laboratory testing. | | | Q: What is the Notified / Competent Body route to conformity?
