It is a good point from the authority. The harmonised standards are the tools to demonstrate the product is safe and then complies with the Directive. According to our verification with valid standards, it passes and complies with the Directive. The authority also use the same way to prove our product unsafe and then fails to comply with the Directive. In fact they are right but we are not wrong. They do not want to talk our way but just insist their way is right. In fact they are right to check with the latest standards but they cannot disregard current standards to demonstrate the compliance within the transitional period.
