Roger, I do not have the URL to the link that says this in black and white, but I seem to recall a legal opinion (possibly by the European Court of Justice?) that says instructions must be printed. You may wish to spend some time with google.
Based on the above, perhaps you will understand it when I state that my view is that how instructions are presented is not primarily a certification issue, it as a legal one. Of course, getting your product the relevant approval marks may be an immediate concern for approval engineers, but it should not be there only concern.
