On rating labels for devices, is there a common nomenclature to
distinguish if a multi voltage range device, such as a 115V/230V ac
device, is auto-sensing  requiring no user action or if it requires a
manual operation such as changing voltage select switches or internal
wiring?
Didn't we discuss this here only a week or so ago? In a nutshell,
115/230 means you have to change a setting: 115-230 means you don't, but
it doesn't guarantee that the product will work on some weird
intermediate value such as 160.
There IS a standard, not well known:
IEC 61293
Edition 1.0 (1994-06-22)
Marking of electrical equipment with ratings related to electrical
supply - Safety requirements
Stability Date: 2016

If 'QWERTY' is an English keyboard, what language is 'WYSIWYG' for?
