Section 2 - Safety

2.6 Conformance with Applicable Laws and Regulations

This equipment must be installed and used in accordance with all applicable local, county, state, provincial, and federal regulations. In the United States, these regulations include, but may not be limited to, those of the NFPA, NEC, and other regulating bodies. Outside of the United States, other specific laws and regulations may apply. Compliance with applicable regulations is the responsibility of the installer, user, or owner of the power conditioner.

2.7 Product Liability

Product liability refers to the liability of any or all parties along the chain of manufacture of any product for damage caused by the product. Product defects may include inherent design defects, manufacturing defects, and defects in marketing. The manufacturer of this product has taken every possible precaution to ensure that design defects do not exist and that manufacturing defects will not occur. Marketing defects generally result from a lack of proper instructions or failures to warn of latent dangers associated with the product. The manufacturer has taken great care in preparing this manual to ensure that the documentation is proper, correct, and complete. However, the manufacturer cannot control how the product documentation is used or how well it is read and understood. It remains the sole responsibility of the installer, user, and owner of this product to thoroughly review and understand the documentation that accompanies the product. Those installing, using, servicing, and maintaining the product should observe all warning notices in both the documentation and on the product and contact the manufacturer if any part of the installation, use, or service procedures of this product are unclear.

Statutory product liability provisions can be, geographically speaking, very diverse. In the United States, the Department of Commerce has created a Model Uniform Products Liability Act (MUPLA) for voluntary use by the states. However, there remains no federal product liability law. For further information consult the products liability statutes that may apply for the state or country where you reside. Also consult the manufacturer’s warranty statement in Section 9.3 of this manual concerning implied and expressed warranties of merchantability and fitness for purpose.
