Indeed. The original enquiry was: Any ideas on when (if) DoC references to 73/23/EEC were officially incorrect? For manufacturers, then, the date for 'officially incorrect, but exceptionally permitted' was 16 January 2007. My advice was that steps should be taken by manufacturers to update DoCs by 16 January 2008, and by retailers to clear stock referring to 73/23/EEC by 16 January 2009, although passing these dates would be unlikely to be frowned on, unless in the interim a significant problem emerged, relating to the old Directive but not the new one. I'm surprised that it proved controversial. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
