The definition of Consumer in this directive is leading people at my
company to believe it only applies to a finished product for non-commercial
or personal/private use.
It appears to not apply to devices bought and used for profession/trade
applications; which is nearly all of the products produced at NI.
(Test/measurement equipment, boards for data acquisition and instrument
control, programmable controls, limited educational devices.)
Any other thoughts on this interpretation?

No, it just means that the minimum period is changing from one to two
years.

There is no need to alter warranty documents that conform to the present
requirements (such as the statement about not restricting the customer's
legal rights), except to change the period from one to two years. AIUI.
