Greetings Joe, I think that you need to look at the consumer of your equipment. If the test equipment is to be used by an average person, then I believe multiple languages are required. If you sell a specialized piece of test equipment, then I believe the standard offers a different solution. Under Amendment 2, (EN61010-1:1993/A2) it defines the-
3.5.9 Operator: Person operating equipment for its intended purpose. Note - The Operator should have received training appropriate for this purpose. and adds 3.5.10 Responsible body: Individual or group responsible for the use and maintenance of equipment, and for ensuring that the Operators are adequately trained. I believe that through the purchase agreement, that the Responsible body could become the company that bought the equipment, and then they are responsible for the training of the individual that operates it. Of course the appropriate international symbols are always required on any warning labels. I also understand that in most high tech environments English is a common language, so it would be acceptable. I believe it boils down to your customer requirements.
