I don’t think the footnote was in the Blue Guide at the time (c2000) but that’s what I decided that we had to do, and to specify to trials teams (ours’ and the customers’), when we put prototype military equipment out for field trials – but sometimes it was difficult to persuade everyone (especially Project Manager’s “in a hurry”!) involved that such steps were “necessary”!
It was/is really only “common sense” from both the trials and the involved-personnel perspectives because you can’t really field-trial or demonstrate equipment except under “realistic” conditions and with suitable personnel – but everyone then has a “duty of care” to ensure that neither themselves or anyone-, or anything-, else is put at undue risk.

Controlled conditions would mean expert operators, restrictions to public contact with the product, avoiding inappropriate interaction with other neighbouring products, etc.” Best regards, Andreas Graevinghoff From: Scott Xe [mailto:scott...@gmail.com] Sent: Donnerstag, 18.

The samples may be tested or tried by the store staff and the customers. If the samples may not comply with relevant standards, how to ensure the store staff and the customers to be protected from the health safety hazard?
