“This report comes from two separated tests made on the 16th of July and the 7th of August, made by the Certificator and professors from 2 Universities. We are under NDA with both, but I want to make very clear that this is not a final report, because all the measurements have to be repeated many times before reaching the reliability necessary to a product. Therefore all the measurements have to be repeated many times more. We are on the right way to make a very important product, but much R&D work has still to be done.”
What does this Rossi quote say to us? I rise in support of Rossi on this one. Rossi had no control or responsibility over this series of tests. Rossi was strictly hands off, and had no inputs into or participation in this evaluation exercise. The intent of this test series was to begin a certification of a product by a testing organization as safe and in conformance to a set of European regulatory standards for a commercial product. This LENR product certification process is just beginning and the results presented are preliminary. The intent of this customer conference is strictly commercial in nature. Its purpose is limited and may well be to inform and assure Rossi’s customer base that sufficient progress is being made in product development and safety assurance as witnessed by an internationally known and well respected third party product certification organization and is not intended in any way to meet any scientific standards or peer review expectations. Any faults in the testing process must be laid exclusively at the feet of the testing agent. It might be possible that this type of certification process is not appropriate for a nuclear reactor. Rossi is breaking new ground in this area so some testing and certification problems are to be expected. As with any new class of energy production process, this is an all new experience and the new LENR industry must go through this process sooner or later.
