This caught my eye. In particular the Ray's comments that English is a
common language. For ITE equipment there exists a paragraph (don't have the
standard handy right now) that does say common language but their is an
amendment "AZ (I think) that specifies German.
I'm heading out of town and can look it up next week if its real important -
I got burned on this from my EN60950 guys. Rats.

Subject: RE: Language labeling requirements
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.
Regards,
Ray Russell

Subject: Language labeling requirements
As a manufacturer of laboratory equipment that is designed to
meet EN
61010-1 per the LVD, what is our obligation/requirement for
providing
instrument labeling and support documentation in the languages
of the
many countries that we ship our products.
All responses are appreciated.
