On the IEC/EN/UL 61010-1 standard (safety of ISM equipment) that we primarily deal with, it simply states that on the equipment you must include the "maximum RATED power" or "maximum RATED input current",

This is actually a wrong use of the IEC-defined term 'rated', which is 'the value stated by the manufacturer'. So the term should be 'rated maximum input power'. The manufacturer doesn't state several input powers, one of which is the maximum.
