Art. 14 is the article most private-label sellers have never read. It changes everything: the moment you place radio equipment on the EU market under your own name or trade mark, the Directive treats you as the manufacturer. Art. 10 obligations apply to YOU: technical documentation (Art. 10(3)), conformity assessment (Art. 10(3)), CE marking (Art. 10(3)), post-market surveillance (Art. 10(5)), and information for authorities (Art. 10(12)). Your Shenzhen factory has zero legal obligation under Art. 14. REDCheck generates the 5 documents. 30 minutes. €99.

You enter your product specifications. REDCheck structures the documentation requirement by requirement.
Art. 14 does not care what you call yourself. If you place radio equipment on the EU market under your own brand, you are the manufacturer under the Directive. Reseller is a commercial term. Manufacturer under Art. 14 is a legal status.
The factory's CE marking covers the factory's brand. When you rebrand, you become a new manufacturer under Art. 14. You need YOUR OWN EU Declaration of Conformity.
Art. 14 applies to TWO scenarios: (a) placing under your own name or trade mark, OR (b) modifying in a way that affects compliance. Branding alone triggers Art. 14(a). You do not need to modify the product.
