Differences in national standards
Nations can apply different performance, safety, or other standards. National differences in
standards include, but are not limited to:
 voltage.
 plug and cord ratings.
 language requirements.
 electromagnetic compatibility requirements.
Differences in national or other standards can make it impractical or impossible for all certification
test marks to be put on the same version of a product. For example, the Canadian Standards
Association (CSA) versions of Hypertherm’s products do not comply with European
electromagnetic compatibility requirements; therefore, they do not have a CE mark on the data
plate.
Countries where the CE mark in necessary or that have compulsory electromagnetic compatibility
regulations must use CE versions of Hypertherm products with the CE mark on the data plate.
These could include:
 countries in the European Union.
 Australia.
 New Zealand.
 Russia.
It is important that the product and its certification test mark be suitable for the end-use installation
site. When Hypertherm products are shipped to one country for export to a different country, the
product must be correctly configured and certified for the end-use installation site.
