EN60065 states that safety instructions should be given in a language
acceptable to the country where that apparatus is to be used.  ISO/IEC Guide
37 is referred to but I don't have a copy.

The best thing to do is make sure that your product does not require
information relating its safe use or if it does, try to use a graphical
representation if you can.

I wouldn't include a DoC with a product, it is not required.  Even with a
perfectly compliant product I would only refer to compliance or legislation
when I had to.
