This differentiation between distribution and utilisation voltage is something that seems to be a US concept. In Europe distribution voltage and nameplate rating are identical and distribution voltage is given with a specific tolerance, e.g. 230/400 V +/-10%. On top of that you have 4.5% acceptable voltage drop between the service fuses and last point of fixed wiring, no more than 1.5% between service fuses and meter and 3% in the building wiring.
Manuals for end users then state "Only connect to the mains if the nameplate rating matches the info on your electricity meter!".
