purport to...?
Thread Content
(E---C) This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is not intended to cover all safety-related issues (if any). The English is too formal; may I ask how to translate “purport to”? The last part, \"associated with its use\", I’m not sure how to translate it: dizzy:
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is not suitable for dealing with all safety issues; if any such issues exist, please refer to the user manual! For reference only!
if any, associated with its use. Here, \"its\" must refer to something specific; I think it should be translated as \"If there are any (safety issues), please consider its usage (refer to this standard).\"
Look at the context; it will be easier to understand. This standard does not aim to address all safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory requirements prior to use. This standard does not cover all safety issues related to its use (if any), and it is not responsible for addressing all such safety issues. I checked online and found that this phrase appears in many standards; it seems to be another standard term. I’m not sure if there’s a standard translation for it.
These standards were developed with the involvement of experts and even lawyers, so they should be quite rigorous, as the original poster said, quite formal! So cool! When translated into Chinese, it should also have a corresponding version that remains faithful to the original style. For reference only: This standard does not (attempt to) emphasize all safety issues; if any exist, they shall be addressed according to specific circumstances.
This sentence is usually included in the scope of ASTM analysis standards; here is one translation for reference! 1.4 This standard does not aim to address all safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. This standard does not provide recommendations regarding all safety issues (if any) related to its application. Users of this standard are responsible for establishing appropriate safety and health procedures prior to use, as well as determining the scope of application of such procedures. :handshake :handshake
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is not intended to cover all safety issues. If it is involved, please consider its usage context. I still don’t understand why the past tense was used: associated:dizzy:

I made slight adjustments to the translation upstairs. Appendix: If we remove \"if any\", isn’t it clearer? This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. :lol
I’m glad the scores for today have finally been added up: lol The provisional version reads as follows: This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. This standard is not intended to cover all safety issues related to its use (if any). Users of this standard shall establish appropriate safety and health procedures prior to use and determine the applicability of the established rules. Thank you all for finally helping clear my mind a bit:handshake
