Hi Forum, I have a French ITE product destined to be used in the UK. Primarily this was not intended to be used in a vehicle but now we want to make this possible. We have created a 12V lead accessory so that it can also be used in a vehicle e.g. a taxi or bus.
Our French colleagues got the OK from their Vehicle Authority, UTAC, that the Directive 95/54/EC did not apply quote "Your terminal is not designed mainly for use in cars. Therefore, Directive 95/54/EC is not applicable for terminal, but Directive 89/336/EEC is applicable". They now ship these for use in the French Market. The UK vehicle authority, VCA, has stated Directive 95/54/EC is Mandatory for this same product. Can I ship these products for use in the the UK based on the French decision without fear of prosecution from the UK authorities?
