Hi and welcome to the site.
All manufacturer's guidelines are recommendations on how equipment should be stored and used. These are guidelines that may well of been published based on tests and standard attainment that in turn enables the manufacturer to pass and display safety regulation symbols - kite mark / BS marks, CE marking ..
This thread is from the Lv 2 forum and has an excellent real life exerience shared.
Not following guidelines could result in injury, harm and potentially death. These are also possible situations for liable as the responsibility and accountability to use them in accordance with guidelines will almost certainly fall to the owner/user/installation operator.
BSI educations page to explain safety markings
Would it help if you looked out for some packaging within your setting and checked what the manufacturer/supplier guidelines advise and then look to see how they are put into practice/what happens with the resource or equipment ordinarily, when it's used day to day?
