I know that. I don't know why the CENELEC BT ever agreed to forward it to the Commission. but I can guess, and the key word begins with 'P' and ends with 'olitics'. Anyone who relies on it as a safety standard had better get insurance against 'unlawful killing' charges under EU health and safety legislation, which does not take 'standards' into account. My advice stands; if at all possible have NOTHING to do with EN50178. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Interested in professional sound reinforcement and distribution?
