This implementation of GPSD and LOW Voltage directive (see below) in one legal document applies to Technical Work Equipment and Consumer products only.
See section 2 I am not sure to where the definitions are for the terms Technical, Working and equipment. “use is exclusively for work purposes, their accessories and protective equipment” In German: Technische Arbeitsmittel sind verwendungsfertige Arbeitseinrichtungen, die bestimmungsgemäß ausschließlich bei der Arbeit verwendet werden I am Dutch, and i read here: “ Readymade Technical tools for exclusive Professional use” Consumer products is pretty clear. I would think that a PC is not a technical working equipment, but an office work equipment. I am not sure if your laser equipment fits the description. ITE not in any case. Regards, Ing.

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ted Eckert Sent: Friday, November 20, 2009 11:00 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Language of safety instructions I can’t give you a reference from EN 61010 or EN 60825-1 , but I can approach the issue from a different direction. IEC 60950-1 section 1.7.2.1 covers general information for safety instructions and marking for ITE. Note 4 in particular indicates that Germany requires the translation of safety related instructions for both the user and service personnel. NOTE 3 In many countries, instructions and equipment marking related to safety are required to be in a language that is acceptable in the country in which the equipment is to be installed. Servicing instructions are normally made available only to SERVICE PERSONS and are generally acceptable in the English language only. NOTE 4 In Germany, safety-related information, even for SERVICE PERSONS, has to be in the German language. This does indicate that some countries, and Germany in particular, do require translations. These national laws likely apply to all products and not ITE alone.

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kim Boll Jensen Sent: Friday, November 20, 2009 4:31 AM To: EMC PSTC Subject: Language of safety instructions Hi all We have been met with requirements from Germany that all safety information shall be in German, or else the CE marking is invalid. The product is a laser product under the following standards; EN 60825 and EN 61010. None of these standards have any requirements like this. Is there a specific German requirements and what does it include. Are there any other countries with same kind of requirements?
