Why can't it be used in Asia?
Range O: Grammaticalwords
Range 1: Complete beginners' vocabulary
Range 2:More words for the lower level learner
Range 3, range 4, and range 5:Words belonging to the next three ranges of the next most useful group of words

Where can we find the detailed explanation to the ranges of the wordlists?

The manual should have discussed how the bands are selected:

Yes. Thanks. The lists are called E.E.T.: The European English Teaching Vocabulary-list.
This version of the E.E.T.-Vocabulary-list contains
10,246 lemmata
with the 5000 highest ranking morphological word clusters,
of word forms with frequency values as in the COBUILD data 1987,
supplemented with a number of clusters considered useful for EFL learners,
and in which a number of lemmata have been subjectively re-arranged,
according to a number of criteria and inter-subjective decisions, checking esp.:
the LET Vocabulary-list,
the LCL-corpus,
J. Richards' Familiarity index,
M. West: General Service list,
Marzano's word clusters in children's schoolbooks,
the Council of Europe's Threshold Level,
the defining vocabulary of LDOCE, COBUILD and CIDE,
10 first level and 5 second level EFL textbooks (British, Belgian and Dutch),
arranged in 5 ranges (sluices) as learning levels:
here (in version 1.0-a) presented per lemma
with the corresponding (pedagogically adapted) EET-range, the ‘objective’ range according to cluster frequency value and the cluster number (rank order according to the total frequency of the word forms in the cluster),
for the planning and preparation of EFL learning materials and activities.
