John, my responses are added below..... I did not intend to offend, but to comment on our experiences, which may not be that of others. I encourage a return to the purpose of this forum, namely the exchange of primarily technical information.

Ø Perhaps "emerging countries" is not the best terminology. "Emerging standards" may be more appropriate. Are you talking about new IEC, EN, TBR standards? [Perhaps "emerging standards" is not correct either. However one chooses to call it, most manufacturers are having to obtain more certifications in more countries than they did a few years ago. I know we are.] Ø Many already have well developed approval processes, but some, such as Poland, can be very difficult to completely satisfy at times. Be specific. Do not generalize. [I have always addressed any agency concerns to that agency, not publicly. Our contacts at the PCBC are aware of our frustration over some unique requests. We will continue to handle these issues in this manner.] John Radomski
