If it has 9W inside, then that may be ok depending on what is considered the norm within the industry. If the norm is to measure it externally then you may have a problem if you don't make it clear in your adverts that's the internal reading and mislead consumers as a result.
If you're selling goods within the EU then the onus is on you to describe them correctly....
Remember they're in Switzerland, it you who's selling within the EU, so responsibility is on you to comply with EU law with regards to descriptions.
As for being overspec, I doubt you'll have any problems but sell them underspec and potentially you could be in trouble if you know or should have known that they were underspec.
It would seem that best practice may be to do what most people in the industry seem to do and that's describe projectors by the minimum they'll be making. That way no one is misled as to what they might be getting and if they get more, most people will be delighted.
I'm sure that a trade body in your own country such as the equivalent of Trading Standards could provide you with better guidance as to what you need to do to meet the law in the Netherlands.
This was just a friendly heads up that law in the EU is now quite strict on business / consumer relationships.
I think this sums the point up perfectly,Joost I've always found you helpful and I'm not going to question your safety record as they are your shows/clients so it's not my public liability at stake I think some people need to stop playing Laser police, if advice is going to be given on safety or opinions on safety it should be constructive and not just "That's not safe"
