Decision 768/2008/EC · Annex III · Required for every CE-marked product

EU Declaration of Conformity Generator

Every product that carries the CE marking must be covered by an EU Declaration of Conformity, drawn up by the manufacturer under its sole responsibility before the mark is affixed and kept on file — typically for ten years after the product is placed on the market. This free generator follows the model in Annex III of Decision 768/2008/EC — the reference structure the sector-specific directives and regulations build on — and produces a clean printable declaration you can sign and keep with your technical file.

The declaration is one CE obligation among several: the conformity assessment itself, the technical file, marking rules and any notified-body involvement are separate requirements set by the legislation that applies to your product. Sector-specific acts can add elements to the Annex III model — check the directive or regulation you cite. Informational only, not legal advice.

The EU DoC, answered in full

Which products need this declaration?

Every product that carries the CE marking — toys, low-voltage electronics, radio equipment, machinery, PPE, pressure equipment and the other areas covered by EU harmonisation legislation. Some sectors set their own declaration model rather than following Annex III: medical devices under Regulation (EU) 2017/745 and in-vitro diagnostics under Regulation (EU) 2017/746 are the common examples, and you should follow the model in the act that applies to you. The manufacturer draws it up under its sole responsibility before affixing the CE mark, keeps it for the period the applicable legislation requires — typically ten years — and must be able to present it to market-surveillance authorities on request. In several sectors a copy also travels with the product or must be available to the importer and distributor.

Can one declaration cover several directives?

Yes — that is the normal case. A product covered by more than one act, such as a lamp under the Low Voltage, EMC and RoHS directives, gets a single EU Declaration of Conformity that lists all the applicable legislation and the standards used under each. List every act by its full title and reference; this generator gives you a free-text field for exactly that reason.

Do I need a notified body?

Only where the legislation applying to your product requires one for the conformity assessment route you use — common for higher-risk categories such as certain PPE, pressure equipment or radio equipment assessed without harmonised standards. Where a notified body was involved, the declaration names it, its four-digit number and the certificate it issued; where none was required, the section is simply omitted, and this generator leaves it out automatically when the fields are empty.
