Tim,
If your friend is having the problems you state then one can say that the equpment is not suitable for the environment in which it is to be used. The thing to remember about the EC legislation that the use of standards is not the answer to everything, and meeting the standards does not ensure that the equipment is suitable for use. It would appear that it is breaking one of the basic requirements that it shall not be interfered with. Remember the standards are only there as a guide. Two routes your friend can follow:- Talk to his local trading standards office (if his local office is not very helpful try Manchester there is a man there who is. Talk to a solicitor especially one who is involved with this type of problem. I reccommend that initially you take the first route. >From the facts given I believe he has a reasonably good case to get something >done. (Mind you would you trust a surgeon near your heart after you have just sued him. You also do not say if it was done privately or under the NHS. Regards Ray Garner Datel Ferranti Group.
