We have designed an instrument for use in laboratories that only meets Class A
requirements for the EMC Directive. Our sales brochures, user manuals, and
product label specify that the product only meets Class A limits. If we sell
this product to a customer in a Class B environment, what is our potential
liability? The customer knows the product only meets Class A limits.
In the situation above, is there any requirement to receive documentation from
the customer, such as a signed letter, acknowledging that they are aware that
the product is a Class A instrument?
Is anyone aware of any legal cases in the European Union where legal action was
taken for any situation similar to the one listed above?
All responses are appreciated.
