Roger, the approach is not unusual under the terms of the Treaty of Maastricht which no longer requires that the member states must transpose the Directive before it is implemented. That was one of the victories of that Treaty (some will not see it that way). The only thing unusual is that the R&TTE Directive is implemented, "POST MAASTRICHT", all the other ones so far were PRE MAASTRICHT. This will be the norm in the future, in particular for the new EMC Directive. Ciao, Vic
