Multiple versions of device due to power connectors?

I am working towards CE marking a phototherapy device. If the device can be shipped with different power connectors based on the country it is sold to, does that mean the device must have different "versions" listed when submitted for CE marking?

If so, should my company list different versions of the device or just say the power connector is an accessory and not actually part of the device (if that's possible)?

Any input is appreciated.

The most convenient way around this is to use an appliance coupler on the device itself; an IEC 60320 C13/14 for a three pin connection or you could use the "figure of eight" type if you have a non-earthed type device.

Then you select the country specific accessory power cord when packing (all types already certificated).

Pads38,

The cord we have sourced is C13/14, and we will be selecting the power cord according to the country as you described. I just wasn't clear if this strategy meant we have to declare different models of the device on the DoC. I didn't think we would have to since the cords all hold the same certifications.
