industrial products for non-consumer products.
This standard can also be applied to other forms of instructions for use.
Note: The preparation of instructions for uses of consumer products shall be
implemented in accordance with GB 5296.1-1997 "Instructions for use of
products of consumer interest - General principles".

design defects.
3.3 The instruction for use shall clearly state the purpose and scope of
application of the product; give the main structure, performance, model,
specification and correct lifting, installation, use, operation, repair, maintenance
and storage methods, according to the characteristics and needs of the product,
as well as the safety measures to protect operators and products. See Appendix
A for details. If necessary, installation and maintenance instructions can be
provided.

protection and energy conservation.
3.5 For products that are flammable, explosive, toxic, corrosive, radioactive,

provide the user, with instructions corresponding to the product.
3.7 The instruction for use can be prepared according to the product model, or
according to the product series and complete sets of products. When compiling
by series and complete sets of products, the parts, which have different
contents and parameters, must be clearly distinguished.
For complex products and complete sets of equipment, it may prepare the
instruction for uses, according to functional units and complete machines; then
combine them into a systematic instruction for uses, according to product model
and purpose. When necessary, it may provide a complete set of document lists.
The instruction for use shall clearly specify the product; explain the model, style
or type of the product. It shall not cause the inconsistency between the
instructions for use, as held by the user, and the product, which is actually used,
due to the confusion between a model and its improved model, between two
different models (no matter how small the difference is), or between different
specifications under the same model.
3.8 For metallurgy, minerals, building materials, chemicals and other raw
material products and components, as well as other products which support the
