Charlie,current mandatory version is 1.7.1. Future (2015) is 1.8.1. Both harmonized. There is an application note in question which describes additional requirements. Only as of last month this Note became mandatory. Note in OJ from 2009 was simply stating what actual tests been developed in draft 1.8.1. Should the "note" be treated as any other new version of the standard, allowing grace period? Better question: how does one challenge or ask for "official" clarification on the matter? Mark

Like other Directives, the RTTE Directive contains no mandatory requirement to apply harmonized standards and carry out tests (except in the case of Full Quality Control). -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
