'Misuse' is the negative of 'use', or as Mike correctly made a suggestion:
"We emphasized how to use our equipment correctly, and what the scope of
its applications were."
The better you describe the positive, the easier it is to define the
negative.
I have seen many operating manuals
Brian,
Sounds like a NRTL engineer is asking for possible misuses whether or not
they may result in a hazard. And perhaps this is just to ensure that
misuses have been considered and can be included in the listing report, to
satisfy the internal report reviewers, or their certifying auditors,
Hi John:
I assume the power is distributed more-or-less evenly throughout the garment.

It's not being replaced, it has been replaced for more than 40 years, in
the field of safety of electrical goods. Manufacturers have an
'unassignable responsibility' to offer only safe products. But, as with
many other things these days, the matter has been enlarged by relentless

You might put in a few obvious answers, like do not connect to power of the
incorrect voltage, not for household use, or some such thing. I tend to
agree with you, I've had clients get a little crazy dreaming up "what if"
scenarios, like what if a forklift crashes into? or a terrorist fires a 50
I’m not a lawyer, or from the USA, but in Europe the term “misuse” has been
discussed in various REDCA (Radio Equipment Directive Compliance Association)
Meetings with Notified Bodies and The EU Commission, and their view is that
there’s no such thing as “misuse”, it’s just “use”.

Good to hear from you!
Re your question, it is not clear who the "they" is who is requesting a list of
misuses.

My company manufactures Laboratory Equipment such as analyzers and
determinators. They are highly specialized equipment, yet have an infinite
range of uses.
Even though all known residual risks are documented in the Safety Warning
section of the manual, they will commonly request a list of

The device might use a battery, but I would have thought that IEC 60335-1 and
IEC 60335-2-17 would be better standards to apply considering their scope:
IEC 60335-2-17:2012+A1:2015+A2:2019 deals with the safety of electric blankets,
pads, clothing and other flexible appliances that heat
Hi,
I hope everyone is well and happy .
I’m hoping I can get some input on my thinking for a heated garment powered by
a battery pack.
1. The heater is insulated.
2. The fabric it is in contact with is combustible.
3. The circuit is PS2 – 16W
4. I read UL 62368 Clause 6.4.5.2 as
11 matches
