Amund,

IEC 60950-1 Clause 1.7.12:

Instructions and equipment marking related to safety shall be in a
language which is acceptable in the country in which the equipment is to
be installed.

NOTE 1 Documentation intended for use only by SERVICE PERSONS is
permitted to be in the English language only.

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.

Are there any requirements in IEC60950 which says that the language of
installation / user handbook, must be in the official language where the
product is for sale?

Thanks.
