Article 8 clause 1(b) is about the powers of regulatory authorities. 
1(b)(i) is about marking **on the product itself**, such as the X-ray 
warnings required by some countries on TV sets. It does not seem to 
address the provision of instructions, which is simply assumed in 
Article 2 b).

Obviously, common sense indicates that products that cannot be used by 
anyone who does not have a computer don't need a hard-copy instruction 
book. But everything else probably does.
