In spite of big efforts to ensure correctness, reliability and precision of technical and non-technical descriptions the VDE SPEC project group is not able to take over neither an explicit nor an implicit guarantee for the correctness of the content of the document. The usage of this document occurs with the awareness, that the VDE SPEC project group cannot be made legally liable for any kind of damage or loss. The usage of the present VDE SPEC does not relieve the user from the responsibility for own action and happens thereby at one’s own risk.

In the course of the production and/or introduction of products at the European market the manufacturer must execute a risk analysis to determine first of all what risks which the product possibly can cause. After execution of the risk analysis the manufacturer evaluates these risks and if necessary takes appropriate measures to eliminate the risks effectively or to minimize them (risk assessment). The present VDE SPEC does not relieve the user from this responsibility.
