It is a bit extreme that warning.
maybe it should be a bit more of a recommendation than its current somewhat threatening language.
poor translation from german to english maybe?
or have they missed out the bit after Arc flash that reads Turn off power before removing cover?

OP
Im not sure it may not be an official schneider label ,with the other problems i found here like a cpc used as a switch live. Probably not the best installler
If it's Schneider I'm not surprised. Some of their translations leave a bit to be desired. Just like this warning sign on a solar farm inverter cubicle back from the days when I worked for them.

At least here some facilities have also fake signaling indications..... It does not matter if you are a rookie or a high experienced electrician, always rely on your instinct and knowledge first and afterwards to the signals and labels.
A bit extreme isn't it?
maybe it was badly translated from another language to English.Reply to Test the (RCD) Residual Current Device or die in the Lighting Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
