The Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC), quotes the following:
For the contents of the Declaration of Conformity:-
“Name and address of the person authorised to compile the Technical File, who must be established in the European Community;”
Therefore by definition, companies who do not have an established company or individual within the community will need to appoint someone to keep, hold or compile the Technical File relating to their equipment and machinery.
You can view a list of harmonized standards for the machinery directive on the Europa website.
