You don’t need to go to Wikipedia. Apparently, the laws of Australia are permitted to contradict the laws of mathematics. Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has asked software companies to provide a backdoor into their operating systems for the Australian government to use. Security

You are quite right; the household supply is 230/400V. I suspect that the product description is wrong. 133/230 V isn’t used anywhere in the world, I think. With best wishes DESIGN IT IN! OOO – Own Opinions Only www.jmwa.demon.co.uk J M Woodgate and Associates

I do not think that the spirit has any legal value here. My experiences in these kind of cases is that judges read the letter and not the spirit. If the letter gives no clear legal solution, the spirit may help. But the letter is quite clear here. The only unclear part is the use of

Greetings. Sorry if this is a stupid question (I’ve asked more than I’m allowed, I’m sure), but in Europe, is there 230 volt 3-phase (230 volt line to line)? I thought 230 volt single phase was derived from 380V 3-phase (230V from Line to Neutral). I see a 230V 3-phase saw with a CE marking

I don’t think that is helpful. Agreed that the ‘Whereas’ are not legalistically part of the Directive, that doesn’t mean that they can be disregarded. They embody the reasoning underlying the Directive. In English legal idiom, they contain the ‘spirit’ of the Directive, while the Directive
