Doug's process is the same one we use. I would just make one small
point. The Canadian IC03(?) version of the FCC warnings must be in French and I
have always understood that it must be on the product as does the FCC warnings.

Hi Kristiaan,
If you look at 60950, you are only required to mark your products in a
language which is acceptable in the country which it is being sold. In the
national deviations there are some specific countries, such as Germany, who
specify that safety instructions be in their particular country.
To get to the specifics of your question. Canada has two official
languages, English and Canadian French and either is acceptable. If we
marked our product in french only, it would not be acceptable in the US, so
because of the limited space on labels, we generally mark our North
American products in English only on the label and have the other languges
(English, French and Spanish)in the user guide. We do it purely for
marketing reasons (I'm not going to bore you with the details of the french
language debate here in Canada).
In your scenario, a product that has a cULus marking with markings in
English only is legal in both countries.
Regards
Doug Beckwith

Subject: Marking Languages for Canada
Hello group,
A product from manufacturer X is delivered with a (direct plug-in) power
supply from mftr Y to customers in Canada.
Regarding the power supply, it is UL approved + UL listed and has the UL
marking with C and US.
The warning marking on the power supply is only in english.
Question:
Is it required that the marking is also in french (en francais) when the
product is sold in Canada?
If YES, is there any reason why the marking is not in both languages if
there is an approval for US+Canada?
Thanks for your answers.
Kris Carpentier
