I didn't mean to do that: I thought that I had interpreted your words correctly.

Apply does not necessarily mean "test". Is it possible to clarify what 'apply in full' means, in detail? There is a great deal of confusion about this: it is widely interpreted, AFAIK, as meaning that all the test methods have to be implemented *exactly* as given in the relevant Basic Standards. That interpretation could be said to be inconsistent with the provision that, if justified, certain tests can be omitted, but that provision is in the Generic Standards, not in the Directive, AFAIK. > >I did not mention the draft revision.
