Electronics Technical File Example Download: PDF

This is a completed example of our technical file template for electronics. It shows how the template is filled in for a simple product: a battery-powered infrared TV remote control. Every answer refers to a document, and all documents are attached in full as annexes.

What is in this technical file example?

The example covers the full technical file:

  • a product description and technical data
  • the laws that apply
  • a document list
  • a table linking the brand’s model to the supplier’s tested model
  • a risk assessment with scores
  • a check of the label and instructions
  • the EU declaration of conformity

The annexes include an EMC test report and a RoHS test report. Both are real reports, anonymised: company names, logos, signatures and model numbers have been replaced. The label artwork, instructions and supplier declaration are fictitious. Three open items are left in on purpose, to show what to do when evidence is missing.

Which products is this example for?

The example fits simple battery-powered electronics without wireless functions or a mains connection, such as remote controls, timers and small electronic gadgets. For these products, the EMC Directive, the RoHS Directive, REACH, the POP Regulation, WEEE and the GPSR usually apply. Does your product have Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, a mains plug or a rechargeable battery? Then other laws also apply, such as the Radio Equipment Directive or the Low Voltage Directive. Section 3 of the template helps you check this.

Can I copy this example for my own product?

No. The brand, companies and report numbers are fictitious, and the anonymised test reports only show what a complete report looks like. Your technical file must be based on your own product and contain the complete original test reports, not only certificates. A certificate of compliance alone does not prove that your product complies. If you want Westwood Sourcing as your EU Responsible Person, we review your technical file before we accept your products.
