Useful Information

Any information with a device to prevent end users from operating the device in such a way that the device would not comply with the requirements in the applicable standard to which the device was tested. This is necessary because it may be possible for a device to be compliant with an applicable standard when used or installed as designed, but then operated or installed in a manner that would make it no longer compliant. In this case documentation should be supplied with a device to detail how to use or install the device and keep it compliant. This is an important issue for devices where compliance is highly dependent upon installation practices.

Example:

A split system air-conditioner featuring a variable speed drive and tested with a cable of 1.2 m from the control unit to the drive, may be non-compliant if installed with a longer installation cable. The purpose of this section is to require the supplier to provide documentation stating that the device will only be compliant if installed with a 1.2 m cable from control unit to the drive. However, if the drive was tested with a sufficiently wide range of cables that it would be very unlikely for the device to be used in a way that would not comply with the standard, documentation under this section would not be necessary.

You will need to check with your emc reports and your emc experts to see if there is something special which needs to be added to ensure continued compliance, not only in Australia and New Zealand, but other countries regulating emc as well.
