No, it isn't, if you mean 'compliance with EU Directives'. To suggest that it is creates an open invitation to militant test-houses to go looking for trouble, and you can be pretty sure that some of them are ingenious enough to find it in every case.

You are welcome to institute whatever product-quality verification programs you wish, but please keep their consideration separate from issues concerning compliance with EU Directives. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk This message and its contents are not confidential, privileged or protected by law.
