You have raised an interesting question, especially in light of CE marking. Once a CE marked product is placed on the EU market, there are no further restrictions to limit its distribution or use in other member states. I do not think it is possible to restrict usage in one specific country based on an information in the users guide, especially if safety is involved.
In other cases of country specific restrictions, like 'Special National Conditions' in European Norms, the design has to cover all of them to be able to state compliance to this standard and to apply CE marking. mit freundlichen Gruessen/ best regards Volker Gasse IBM Germany, Technical Relations/Product Safety, Tel: +49 7031-16-6796, Fax: -6916, e-mail: [email protected] Mail: 3114/7103-91, D-70548 Stuttgart, Germany [email protected] on 15.12.98 22:52:54 Please respond to [email protected] To: [email protected] cc: Subject: RE: Varistors to ground Volker, thank you for this useful information. You indicated that the decisions are to be followed by all of the test houses, yet many of the decisions appear to be accepted in only some countries. If all of the test houses are expected to follow the decision, why are country exceptions allowed and what does it mean to us designers? --------- This message is coming from the emc-pstc discussion list.
