I am not a lawyer. My thinking behind this is that they are protecting themselves against those cheap-and-nasty extension cords you get for 99c at your local supermarket. Cheap cables use less pure/thinner wires to save on cost. This causes them to heat up when put under load. This is a bad thing.
I would think that if you can demonstrate use have used a high quality extension cable, then you should be ok.
