An essential template designed for all manufacturers, importers, and distributors who trade electronics and electrical
equipment within the United Kingdom to pass customs with no delays, be able to sell electronic products within the UK with ease, and decrease liability.
Do you want to import, trade and/or sell your electronic and electrical products on the UK market with ease? Do you want to do this according to the legal requirements to avoid problems at customs or to decrease liability?
We have developed a user manual template to make it happen. A lot quicker and easier than you ever imagined.
The user manual template is an MS Word document with over 300 safety warnings, and contains all mandatory elements to create your own user guide.
You can use the template to create instructions that comply with the UKCA marking requirements, the Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations, Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations, Radio Equipment Regulations, RoHS Regulations, the BS EN IEC/IEEE 82079-1:2020 standard for Information for Use, and the ANSI Z535.6 for Safety Messages.
All our templates have a 14-day, no-reason-required guarantee. So if you are not satisfied, for any reason, just let us know and we’ll refund your money.
As we truly believe our product will help you create better documentation, we don’t think it’ll come to that.
But as soon as you have any doubts whether our user manual template is the right fit for you, just put your mind at ease. We will help you to get the results you want, or we will give you your money back (unless, of course, we think you are cheating :))!
We have provided everything you’ll ever need to create user instruction manuals that are compliant to regulatory requirements. Trade with ease and worry no more about impending liabilities.
A user manual’s function is to explain how a product can be used safely and correctly. It informs the user about risks that still persist despite the adoption of measures for inherent safe design, safeguarding, and complementary protection. Failure to warn the user properly can make the manufacturer liable in case of any accidents.
That’s why the duty to warn and provide instructions with the products is regulated and often mandatory. This electronic user manual template is a MS Word file that contains all mandatory elements as required by UKCA marking and other relevant British product safety directives, to create your own compliant manual for the UK market.
The Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations, Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations, Radio Equipment Regulations and RoHS Regulations give requirements on the content of the user instructions called the Essential Requirements. The User Manual Template contains all these mandatory elements, which are placed in the right position, so you know exactly what to add and where to add them to create a compliant manual.
Besides UKCA marking directives, other regulations might apply to your product, such as the WEEE, REACH, packaging or battery directive. These directives also give requirements on the information that needs to be provided with the product, mostly related to safe disposal.
The Electronic Manual Template contains ready-to-use texts to comply with these requirements.
The BS IEC/IEEE 82079-1:2020 Preparation of information for use is an international standard that provides both general principles and detailed requirements for the design and formulation of all types of user instructions.
The standard has been harmonised by the UK, which means that by applying the standard you create the highest level of presumption of conformity with the Essential Requirements of the Directives.
The Electronic Manual Template contains all elements as provided by the 82079 that can be easily adjusted to your own needs. The table of contents of this template is based on the content requirements as given by this internationally recognised standard.
The ISO 3864 standard specifies international standards for safety symbols, including the formatting of the DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION safety symbol panels.
The ANSI Z535.6 also describes the formatting of these, but also gives requirements on when to use which warning level, where to place safety messages throughout the manual, and how to use words like shall, could, and may.
The Electronic Manual Template has adopted the requirements from this standard so you will be able to create compliant safety instructions.

“The factory manuals always need to be redone. This was a daunting task for us: we never knew where to begin and at the end we were not sure if the manual did comply. The User Manual Template provides us all relevant information so we can create compliant instructions and decrease our liability.”
