Appliance labeling provides crucial information for consumers and regulatory compliance. A typical label affixed to a coffee maker powered by electricity details safety certifications (e.g., UL, CE), technical specifications such as voltage and wattage, manufacturer information, model number, and potentially country of origin. It may also include symbols indicating proper usage or warnings against specific hazards.
These markings play a vital role in consumer safety by communicating potential risks associated with electrical appliances and ensuring the product meets required standards. Accurate information on voltage and wattage allows users to select appropriate power sources and avoid electrical overloads. Moreover, the label serves as a point of reference for troubleshooting, repairs, and warranty claims. Historically, standardization of such labeling has contributed significantly to reducing electrical accidents and improving product reliability.
