(3) Subject to sections 19C and 19D, the label must be placed on the device on a place that is accessible by the user.

Note: Section 19C deals with situations where applying a label to the surface of a device is not possible or practical. Section 19D gives a supplier the option of labelling some types of device electronically.

(4) A label is not accessible if it is necessary to use a specialised tool to gain access to it.
