Matthew,
Yes, some big brands do not have the mfr/importer name on product and settings UI but AR in the settings UI instead. Probably they are well known in the world and easy for anyone to locate their local AR. Rgds, Scott From: Matthew Wilson <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, 20 March 2019 09:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [PSES] Postal address on product labelling... Does anyone else have endless arguments about the need to put a postal address on products as per the EMC and LVD requirements? The EMC directive obliges the following (article 7.6 of 2014/30/EU). The LVD also had the exact same obligation (article 6.6 of 2014/35/EU); ?Manufacturers shall indicate, on the apparatus, their name, registered trade name or registered trade mark and the postal address at which they can be contacted or, where that is not possible, on its packaging or in a document accompanying the apparatus. The address shall indicate a single point at which the manufacturer can be contacted. The contact details shall be in a language easily understood by end-users and market surveillance authorities.? Manufacturer is, of course, meaning the entity responsible for the product denoted by the brand name present on the apparatus. And every time I encounter this advice being questioned someone always says 'But [some large entities/corporations supplying consumer products - you can pick your own example] don't put their address on their products.' Well they should! Maybe those devices with screens allow you to look up the address somewhere in the operating system? Humph!
