I didn't mean that recall was explicitly mentioned in the Directives. But it's obviously in the manufacturer's interest not to have to recall 10000 units in the field if the problem affects only about 100 made on 32 Octember 200¾, but they can't be identified. A serial number, batch number or date code solves that. > >Does anyone have the actual requirement, in either directive, for >marking with a batch or serial for the purpose of recall ? No, it isn't there. It's an aspect of 'common sense' in operation. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
