NOTE 2 In Germany, safety related information also for SERVICE PERSONS has to be in the English language. Please note also that the declared European deviations require some statements in particular to be translated into native languages, and give the text in those languages. Canadian deviations require French translations, and additional warnings / installation statements, particularly for DC Mains equipment, are given in Annex NAA of UL60950-1. Installation and user instructions, as well as markings, must be translated if safety is involved. Best regards, Doug Massey Product Safety Engineer Advanced Compliance Solutions Ph.
