I believe that  this information should be included in a printed user manual. I 
would also
include this warning on the outside of the enclosure, for example: on the 
rating label.

My 2 cents.

Article 9 para 4 in EMC Directive 2004/108/EC reads as follows …..


"Apparatus for which compliance with the protection requirements is not ensured 
in residential
areas shall be accompanied by a clear indication of this restriction of use, 
where appropriate
also on the packaging."


One way of addressing this requirement is to include information on this 
restriction in the
instructions for use that are part of the user guide on a CD shipped with the 
product (in this
case a PC or PC accessory). The other extreme is a large printed warning on the 
outside of the
shipping carton indicating not suitable for use in a residential environment, 
together with a
hard copy warning notice included in the box.


1. What's the sensible and practical middle ground ?


2. What do they really mean by the words 'clear indication' and in particular ' 
where
appropriate' ?
