"We took it on board several years ago - we investigated ourselves and looked at other research. We modified our designs and we have successfully prototyped and are confident we can move forward with reliable compliant product. We didn’t leave it until the last minute but we don’t say it’s easy and we are passionate about it - the world won’t end."

But as is not unusual in such cases, there are four types of information: 1. Headless chicken syndrome - 'What shall we DO, what SHALL we do?' - a well-known distributor seems to have created some of that. 2. Pollyanna - 'it's easy; don't bother about it'. 3. Doom and gloom - 'disastrous unreliability; the end of the industry as we know it'. 4. Dispassionate, reliable, complete information. What we need now is a reliable detector for the four different types. Lead-free, of course. (;-) -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
