I have received some feedback regarding my below message. I wish to clarify that the "pat answers" I received were from the EC, not from individual contributors to this list.
My apologies if I have offended anyone by not being clear. Peter From: Peter L. Tarver [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 05 December 2002 15:08 To: PSTC Subject: Here's a good laugh You may recall that I requested an official document from the EC that clearly stated how the "docopocoss" related to manufacturing. After receiving a few pat answers that did nothing more than regurgitate what's already public information in the Blue Guide and not addressing my specific query, I pressed the issue further, receiving the following from the EC. "There might be still open questions with regard to specific information on standards. In this case please refer your detailed question to CENELEC the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization ([email protected])." So, in essence, there is nothing official available from the EC that ties the "docopocoss" to a "last date of manufacture" previously found in some CENELEC standards This was the conclusion John Woodgate also reached from his EC contact. After reading in a previous post that the EC may have asked CENELEC to stop placing "last date of manufacture" in the forwards to their standards, then being referred to CENELEC by the EC ... that's comedy. Once again, O. Henry would be amused. Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to CENELEC I go ... Regards, Peter L.
