I know that there is some significant market distortion due to the actions of German test houses that may in fact be verging on breaches of European law. It is up to your trade associations to mount an information campaign and if necessary lobby the European Commission concerning anti-competitive activities if you are forced to go to test houses that attempt to make demands in violation of Article 7 (a) of the EMC Directive or Article 5 of the LVD. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only.
