Tanya You might want to read the General Product Safety Directive. I think just >from a company liability standpoint if you are modifying or repairing equipment you should invest some time and money into performing these tests after repair. The tests are for electrical safety. These tests are run on generally anything connected to the mains. IMHO.

Does anyone know if this applies to EU member states other than Germany? If so, a target date for enforcement?
