62 by all persons and domestic animals, when this is not in contradiction with the intended use of the appliance.”
63 Convert the paragraph starting with “Attention is drawn to the…” into Note 101.
64 Add the following list item in Note 101:
65 “—  in some countries, specific legislation covers surfaces and materials in contact with food.”
