Annex VI Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 · Annex VI 法規 (EU) 2024/2847 · 附件六
The simplified declaration 簡化符合宣告
Annex VI sets the simplified EU declaration of conformity — the abbreviated form that physically accompanies the product or is referenced via URL. Required by Article 13(20). Two sentences plus a URL pointing to the full Annex V DoC. The form most APAC manufacturers will physically print on packaging or include in the product literature. 附件六設定簡化版歐盟符合宣告,隨附產品或透過 URL 引用之精簡形式。第 13(20) 條所要求。兩句話加上一個指向完整附件五 DoC 的 URL。多數 APAC 製造商會實體印在包裝上或放在產品文件中的形式。

What the simplified DoC actually does in practice 簡化 DoC 實務上做什麼
The simplified DoC is administrative minimalism — two sentences plus a URL. Its design purpose is to fit on packaging, in user manuals, on product labels, or in QR-code-linked digital information. The full DoC (Annex V) lives at the URL endpoint.
"Article 13(20) is binary: ship the full Annex V DoC with the product, or ship the Annex VI shortcut with a URL. Most APAC manufacturers will choose the shortcut — and that URL becomes a 10-year compliance commitment."
The URL must remain stable and accessible. The URL is the bridge between physical product and full compliance evidence. If the URL breaks (manufacturer changes domain, product line discontinued), market surveillance authorities cannot reach the full DoC. APAC manufacturers should design the DoC URL with permanent identifier semantics — a URL that won't change for the product's entire support period (often 5–10+ years).
Multiple language versions may be needed. Annex VI itself doesn't legally mandate a specific language, but Article 13 obligations on instructions and information to user trigger language requirements per Member State. APAC manufacturers selling EU-wide should provide at minimum English plus the official languages of major target Member States. The URL endpoint can serve language-detection-driven DoC delivery.
The simplified DoC is the public-facing artefact. Distributors, retailers, end users see the simplified DoC. Market surveillance authorities use it as the entry point — they read the simplified DoC, click the URL, retrieve the full DoC. Quality of the simplified DoC text and URL infrastructure determines first impressions during inspection. Treat this as a customer-facing deliverable, not just a regulatory checkbox.
簡化 DoC 是行政極簡,兩句話加一個 URL。它的設計目的是放進包裝、使用手冊、產品標籤、或 QR-code 連結的數位資訊。完整 DoC(附件五)住在 URL 端點。
「第 13(20) 條是二元的:要嘛跟產品一起出貨完整附件五 DoC、要嘛走附件六的捷徑加一個 URL。多數 APAC 製造商會選捷徑,而那個 URL 就變成一個 10 年的合規承諾。」
URL 必須持久且可取用。URL 是實體產品與完整合規證據之間的橋樑。URL 失效(如製造商更換網域、產品線停產),市場監督機關無法到達完整 DoC。APAC 製造商應以永久識別子語義設計 DoC URL:產品整個支援期(常 5 到 10+ 年)內不會改變的 URL。
可能需要多個語言版本。附件六本身未法律要求簡化 DoC 文字以任何特定語言提供,但第 13 條對使用者資訊與指示的義務、按會員國觸發語言要求。賣到 EU 全境的 APAC 製造商至少應提供英文、加上主要目標會員國之官方語言。URL 端點可服務語言偵測驅動的 DoC 交付。
簡化 DoC 是面向公眾的產出物。經銷商、零售商、終端使用者看到簡化 DoC。市場監督機關以它為入口,他們讀簡化 DoC、點 URL、取出完整 DoC。簡化 DoC 文字與 URL 基礎品質決定檢查時的第一印象。把它當成面對客戶的交付物,不只是法規打勾項。
Block 3 · APAC perspective 區塊 3 · APAC 觀點
Simplified DoC implementation for APAC manufacturers APAC 製造商的簡化 DoC 實作
For APAC manufacturers, the simplified DoC raises three operational questions: where does it physically go on the product, what URL pattern do we use, and how do we keep the URL working for 10+ years.
對 APAC 製造商,簡化 DoC 引出三個營運問題:實體在產品上放哪、用什麼 URL 模式、怎麼讓 URL 持續運作 10+ 年。
| Implementation choice實作選擇 | APAC patternAPAC 模式 | Operational consideration營運考量 |
|---|---|---|
| Physical placement實體位置 | User manual + box label + QR code on product (small products) or label (large products).使用手冊 + 包裝標籤 + 產品上 QR code(小產品)或標籤(大產品)。 | Label real estate is finite; design for multilingual + multi-regulatory marks (CRA + RED + LVD + RoHS).標籤空間有限;設計時要含多語言 + 多法規標記(CRA + RED + LVD + RoHS)。 |
| URL patternURL 模式 | manufacturer.com/doc/{model}-{firmware} or doi.org/{persistent-id} for permanence.manufacturer.com/doc/{model}-{firmware} 或 doi.org/{persistent-id} 求持久。 | DOI / handle.net more stable than corporate domains over decade-scale support periods.DOI / handle.net 在十年級支援期間比公司網域穩定。 |
| URL versioning for firmware updates韌體更新的 URL 版本控制 | Maintain DoC version per supported firmware; URL serves the latest applicable DoC for the product type.維持每個支援韌體的 DoC 版本;URL 服務這個產品類型適用的最新 DoC。 | Substantial modification of firmware re-triggers DoC issuance. URL infrastructure must support versioned DoC retrieval.韌體實質修改重啟 DoC 簽發。URL 基礎必須支援版本化 DoC 取出。 |
| Multi-language URL routing多語言 URL 路由 | Accept-Language detection + /en, /de, /fr, /it path variants; default to English.Accept-Language 偵測 + /en、/de、/fr、/it 路徑變體;預設英文。 | CRA itself doesn't mandate a specific language for DoC, but Member States may demand local language during inspection.CRA 本身對 DoC 未強制特定語言,但會員國可能在檢查時要求當地語言。 |
| Long-term URL custodyURL 長期保管 | Designate a regulatory-compliance-owned subdomain (compliance.example.com) decoupled from marketing site changes.指派合規團隊擁有的子網域(compliance.example.com),跟行銷網站變更脫鉤。 | Marketing redesigns regularly break URLs; compliance URLs need separate IT custody.行銷改版常打壞 URL;合規 URL 需要獨立 IT 保管。 |
A key practical observation: APAC manufacturers shipping consumer connected products through EU retailers (Amazon, MediaMarkt, Boulanger) face an additional layer — the retailer's own product information page often becomes the de facto first DoC URL the consumer encounters. Manufacturers should ensure consistency between the simplified DoC URL on packaging, the DoC URL in retailer-provided product data feeds, and the actual full DoC content.
關鍵實務觀察:透過 EU 零售商(Amazon、MediaMarkt、Boulanger)出貨消費連網產品的 APAC 製造商面對額外一層,零售商自家產品資訊頁通常成為消費者遇到的第一個事實 DoC URL。製造商應確保包裝上簡化 DoC URL、零售商提供的產品資料饋送中的 DoC URL、與實際完整 DoC 內容之間一致。

Simplified DoC across NLF regulatory regimes 簡化 DoC 跨 NLF 法規制度
The simplified DoC pattern — short text + URL to full DoC — is consistent across multiple EU regulatory regimes. APAC manufacturers can implement a single URL infrastructure serving multiple regimes' simplified DoCs. 簡化 DoC 模式,短文字 + 指向完整 DoC 的 URL:跨多個 EU 法規制度一致。APAC 製造商可實作單一 URL 基礎、服務多個制度的簡化 DoC。
RED · 2014/53/EU Article 18
Radio simplified DoC
無線電簡化 DoC
RED introduced the simplified DoC concept for radio equipment in 2014. The structure is identical to CRA Annex VI — short statement + URL. APAC radio equipment manufacturers already have URL infrastructure for RED simplified DoC; they can extend the same infrastructure to CRA simplified DoC by adding the relevant content under the same URL hierarchy.
RED 在 2014 年為無線電設備引入簡化 DoC 概念。結構跟 CRA 附件六相同,短陳述 + URL。APAC 無線電設備製造商已有 RED 簡化 DoC 的 URL 基礎;可以透過在同一 URL 層次下加入相關內容、把同一基礎延伸到 CRA 簡化 DoC。
EMC · 2014/30/EU Annex IV
EMC simplified DoC
EMC 簡化 DoC
EMC has its own simplified DoC option (Annex IV). Same template — short statement + URL. EMC + CRA share product overlap (most PwDE need EMC compliance too). A consolidated simplified DoC referencing both regimes via a single URL endpoint is operationally efficient.
EMC 有自己的簡化 DoC 選項(附件四)。同模板,短陳述 + URL。EMC + CRA 有產品重疊(多數具數位元素產品也需要 EMC 合規)。透過單一 URL 端點引用兩個制度的整合簡化 DoC、營運上有效率。
EU AI Act · 2024/1689 Article 47
AI DoC
AI DoC
AI Act requires high-risk AI systems to carry a DoC, but does not yet specify a separate simplified DoC format the way CRA does. APAC manufacturers with AI-bundled PwDE may have one DoC URL serving both CRA simplified DoC content and AI Act DoC content.
AI Act 要求高風險 AI 系統承載 DoC、但尚未像 CRA 一樣指定獨立簡化 DoC 格式。具 AI 搭配具數位元素產品的 APAC 製造商、可能有一個 DoC URL 同時服務 CRA 簡化 DoC 內容與 AI Act DoC 內容。
CRA · Article 13(20)
The simplified DoC trigger
簡化 DoC 的觸發
Article 13(20) explicitly requires manufacturers to either include the full Annex V DoC with the product, or provide the simplified Annex VI DoC. Most APAC manufacturers will choose the simplified version for space efficiency. The Article 13(20) decision is binary — once made, change requires careful labelling rework.
第 13(20) 條明文要求製造商要嘛附上完整附件五 DoC、要嘛提供簡化附件六 DoC。多數 APAC 製造商為節省空間會選簡化版。第 13(20) 條決定是二元的,一旦做了、變更需要小心標籤重作。
CRA · Annex V
The full DoC backstop
完整 DoC 保底
Annex VI without Annex V at the URL endpoint is non-compliance. The simplified DoC is not stand-alone — it must point to a working URL serving Annex V-compliant full DoC. APAC manufacturers should treat Annex V and Annex VI as a paired deliverable; producing one without the other does not satisfy Article 13(20).
沒有附件五在 URL 端點的附件六是不合規。簡化 DoC 不是獨立的,它必須指向服務符合附件五完整 DoC 的可用 URL。APAC 製造商應把附件五與附件六當成成對交付物;只產出一個而沒有另一個、不滿足第 13(20) 條。
