Many CEOs and General Managers wouldn't have enough technical knowledge to know when not to sign." *********************************** John, Good point. Personally, I liked it when the Vice President of Engineering signed. He usually had tracked the project development and had visibility of any EMC/Safety issues that we had come up against. When I have a General Manager or CEO sign, I usually give them the opportunity to review the documentation (which they probably don't) along with a short (page or two) memorandum describing the compliance status of the product.
