Hi Brian,
 
how are you? The new German EMC act (Draft at this moment) requires that the
customer must be informed before he buys the product.
 
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Yours sincerely

Subject: EMC Directive - indicating restrictions of use


Article 9 para 4 in EMC Directive 2004/108/EC reads as follows ….. 

"Apparatus for which compliance with the protection requirements is not
ensured in residential areas shall be accompanied by a clear indication of
this restriction of use, where appropriate also on the packaging."

One way of addressing this requirement is to include information on this
restriction in the instructions for use that are part of the user guide on a
CD shipped with the product (in this case a PC or PC accessory). The other
extreme is a large printed warning on the outside of the shipping carton
indicating not suitable for use in a residential environment, together with a
hard copy warning notice included in the box.

1. What's the sensible and practical middle ground ? 

2. What do they really mean by the words 'clear indication' and in particular
' where appropriate' ?
