precautions that must be taken when the local space heater is assembled, installed or maintained;\n(5) information relevant to disassembly, recycling and/or disposal at end-of-life;\n(ii) the technical documentation for the purposes of conformity assessment pursuant to Article 4 shall contain the following elements:\n(1) the elements specified in point (a);\n(2) a list of all equivalent models, if applicable.\n(b) From 1 January 2018 the following product information on local space heaters shall be provided:\n(i) for flueless local space heaters and open to chimney local space heaters only: the instruction manual for end-users, free access websites of manufacturers and the product packaging shall incorporate the following sentence in such a way to ensure clear visibility and legibility and in a language easily understood by the end-users of the Member State where the product is marketed: ‘This product is not suitable for primary heating purposes’;\n(1) for the instruction manual for end-users this sentence shall be on the cover page of the manual;\n(2) for free-access websites of manufacturers this sentence shall be displayed together with the other characteristics of the product;\n(3) for the product packaging the sentence shall be placed in a prominent position in the packaging when displayed to the end-user prior to purchase;\n(ii) for electric portable local space heaters only: the instruction manual for end-users, free access websites of manufacturers and the product packaging shall incorporate the following sentence in such a way to ensure clear visibility and legibility and in a language easily understood by the end-users of the Member State where the product is marketed: ‘This product is only suitable for well insulated spaces or occasional use.’:\n(1) for the instruction manual for end-users this sentence shall be on the cover page of the manual;\n(2) for free-access websites of manufacturers this sentence shall be displayed together with the other characteristics of the product;\n(3) for the product packaging the sentence shall be placed in a prominent position in the packaging when displayed to the end-user
