Have in mind, if your company sells to customers in the EC. Starting on
01.01.1996 the EN 292 Part I and II as official standard is used in all EC
countries. It says that the documentation is PART PART OF THE PRODUCT. If
you miss the doc's the product has a failure! And also in the standard: the
language in the doc's MUST be in the local language.
