Hi Ian, According to Danish authorities the EU commisions interpretation of Machinery Directive requires the instructions to be in printed form for machinery that is. Covering at least (minimum): safety, installation, specifications and first usage. Due to this we supply printed instructions for "machinery", in the native language of the costumers.
However we also have devices not falling under scope of machinery directive (being more like IT equipment) for theese devices we use instructions on CD and supply only a small leaflet "Getting Started" guide again in costumers native language.
