Who must keep the technical documentation and where?
The manufacturer or his authorised representative established in the Community must keep this documentation at the disposal of the national Authorities for inspection purposes for at least ten years from the last date of manufacture of the product. The technical documentation may be kept on electronic support provided that it is easily accessible for inspection. Where the manufacturer is not established in the Community and he has no authorised representative in the Community, this obligation is incumbent upon the importer or the person responsible for placing the product on the Community market.
