In article <[email protected]>, Peter L. Tarver <[email protected]> writes >Correct or not, it has been posited to me that the OSM Decisions are >sometimes based on installation code issues. OSM decisions are the results of enquiries by test-houses, manufacturers or *anyone* about the meaning of a standard in a particular situation, or how it applies to a new technique. The object is to have all test- houses across Europe apply the standards in the same way. > >Though I have not been involved with products I knew were intended for >sale to governmental bodies, I suspect the OSM Decisions can come into >play.

Not really. OSM decisions are now submitted to the relevant standards committee, with the object of endorsement and THEN they are effectively Common Modifications in, definitely not national deviations from, the EN. But in some cases, endorsement is not granted or is granted on an amended version. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. The good news is that nothing is compulsory.
