Generally, the plug can serve as the disconnect. Your instructions must state
that the plug is the disconnect, and you must also state that the equipment
shall be plugged into an outlet that is easily accessible and near the
equipment. Take a look at IEC/UL 60950-1 sections 1.7.2 and 3.4.9 for the
details for ITE.

Subject: Requirements for Power On/OFF Switch...US and EU Europe

Hi List Members,
We purchased a networking product that will reside in the Customer
Premise (
CPE) environment. ( FCC class A in the US )
We noticed that the unit DOES NOT have a power switch or a mains
disconnect.
In order to turn the unit off you have to pull out the plug from the unit or
the wall.
This units runs on 120V- 220V auto-range.
Does this violate any safety rules in the US or Europe? The unit has an
NRTL
mark on it but is seems a little bizarre that it does not have a way of
disconnecting power other than pulling out the plug.
Anyone have any clarification on this......
Thank you!
Christine Rodham
