Summary of section 4.1 of the CONFORMA guide, referring to the route under Regulation (EU) 305/2011. Before using a template, check the regime applicable to the product during the transition to CPR 2024.
Assign a number to the declaration and a unique product-type code; ensure traceability.
State the use covered by the harmonised specification, consistent with the supply.
Company name and address; include the authorised representative where relevant.
Harmonised product standard and version, or ETA and relevant references. The characteristics are derived from the harmonised part, rather than a generic list of tests.
List the essential characteristics for the intended use: give a value, class or NPD where permitted for each, together with the technical reference.
Name and position of the signatory, place, date and signature on behalf of the manufacturer; include instructions, safety information and REACH information where required.
NPD = No Performance Determined. This does not mean zero performance or a compliant product. It does not replace a mandatory performance declaration: consider the applicable requirements, intended use and destination market. Under the ETA route, the performance of the essential characteristics included in the assessment is declared.
The key point: the DoP concerns the essential characteristics of the harmonised specification. Any additional properties are communicated separately.
Historical note: sections 4.1.3 and 4.1.4 of the guide describe the CPD–CPR transition on 1 July 2013. They do not set out the rules for the transition to the new CPR 2024.
