Greetings Bob, I do not see much reference to this situation under EN 61010. I believe that at some point in time, the customer has to take some responsibility for the process that they use. But the manufacture of the piece of Test equipment still has some "duty to warn of any foreseen hazards". For example, if the equipment uses gases that could be harmful, then there should be warning labels and information to user.
But if the customer puts something into the equipment that could be a hazard, then they have to take the responsibility for its use and containment. I think a warning such as - Warning - If harmful substances are put into this equipment, there may be some special ventilation and waste collection requirements. You must consult with and follow all of the local, state and governmental guidelines when using hazardous materials. Good luck, Ray ray_russ...@gastmfg.com -----Original Message----- From: bob_vanor...@leco.com [mailto:bob_vanor...@leco.com] Sent: Monday, November 09, 1998 6:17 PM To: emc-pstc Subject: Poisonous and Flammable Gases All, Could anyone please advise me on the CE requirements for product labeling and manual content regarding the use of poisonous and flammable gases by analytical instrumentation.
