It might be worth recalling at this time there are two major TUV’s in the assessment game; TUV SUD (aka TUV America, aka TUV Product Service) and TUV Rheinland. Though personnel often hop back and forth between the two, they are separate, competing enterprises, possibly with different interpretation policies at the corporate level and in field offices.

That may let you find (I don't have access to the standards) what they are (probably) misunderstanding. Good luck!

I’ve had TUV offices in 3 Asian countries and a customer in Australia tell us our products (Laboratory Equipment) must have an AC Lock Out Device, an Emergency Stop Switch, and a Light Tower because “Laboratory Equipment now falls under the Machinery Directive”. They are telling us that any AC product requires a lock out device. What?
