——persons (including children) whose
? physical, sensory or mental capabilities; or
? lack of experience and knowledge
prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction;
——children playing with the appliance.
Attention is drawn to the fact that
——for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements can be necessary;
——in many countries, additional requirements are specified by the relevant national regulatory authorities;
This standard does not apply to
——appliances intended exclusively for industrial purposes;
——appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas).
