Maybe the sample >slipped through untested, That WOULD probably be classed as be a failure of due diligence. For mass-production of consumer electronics, the old QUANGO (quasi-autonomous non-governmental organizations) bodies like SEMKO used to insist on a wall across the building with just one hole for products to go from final safety test to packing and shipment. But when I advised a small company that having the same person do the testing and packing on a single bench was not allowed, BEAB told me that they didn't think it was unacceptable. >maybe the test voltage was set wrong in the Far Eastern factory, who >knows? As an importer, say, what else could they have reasonably done? The searchlight would go on to the production line. For critical clearances, visual aids would be appropriate, indicating places where close inspection is required to detect excess solder, stray wire strands or contamination of the insulation. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
