Clause F.1 of 62368-1 says:
/Unless symbols are used, safety related equipment marking, instructions
and instructional
safeguards shall be in a language accepted in the respective countries./
No doubt Germany expects German.

I’m not expert on GS certification but Low Voltage Directive Article 6
required safety instructions to be in a suitable language
7. Manufacturers shall ensure that the electrical equipment is
accompanied by instructions and safety information in a language which
can be easily understood by consumers and other end-users, as
determined by the Member State concerned. Such instructions and safety
information, as well as any labelling, shall be clear, understandable
and intelligible.
There’s a similar requirement in RED article 10 and I’m not sure
whether this document has been published for other Directives, but
ADCO RED have published “National language requirements of the
national implementation of the Radio Equipment Directive (RED
2014/53/EU)” , https://ec.europa.eu/docsroom/documents/46453

*Subject:* [PSES] German Required on Product Label to Match China and
Nordic for (GS) ?
Dear EMC-PSTC Pros,
Specific to ITE IEC 62368-1 type standards and German GS
certification. (many power supplies and ITE product carry GS mark)
Is German language required on products to match the text of other
countries requirement to obtain German GS?
And (not or) add a statement that non-German text is not important to
Germany?
China elevation and humidity waring is written into law and is very
clear. Is there an equivalent German law and or specific German text?
仅适用于海拔2000米以下地区安全使用
仅适用于在非热带气候条件下安全使用
Nordic countries grounded plug warning, is specific to national
differences in IEC 62368-1. I cannot find German equivalent in IEC
62368-1:2014, is it there?
Apparaten skall anslutas till jordat uttag.
Apparatet må tilkoples jordet stikkontakt.
Laite on liitettävä suojamaadoituskoskettimilla varustettuun pistorasiaan.
Standard does state to provide safety information and instruction in
language of use and there is German law it must be in German. This has
been the case for decades.
A recent GS certification was held up until compliance with adding
text. They are marking other countries requirements de facto German
GS requirement. Already aware German GS is not a legal requirement and
there many GS issuers. I would have expected PSTC to be lit up
already, if this was a requirement applied to every manufacturer of
ITE and AV with GS. Starts now, I guess.
I am representing myself. I am not asking for any past, current or
future employer.
