"The safety warnings and safety instructions needed to ensure that electrical equipment will be used safely and for intended applications shall be marked on the equipment. If this is not possible the warnings and instructions shall be made available on an accompanying paper. Providing the safety warnings and safety instructions on an accompanying CD-ROM, DVD, or on other media requiring additional equipment to read them, does not fulfill the requirement in paragraph 1 a of Annex I of the Low Voltage Directive." Therefore, under EN 60950, you must provide safety information either marked on the equipment or in hardcopy form.<< This follows logically; if I must take certain precautions to safely use something, I can't be sure I am operating it safely if I have to use it to learn what those precautions are.
