Experience tells me that fighting or getting exemptions from ADR's is the wrong approach. But in saying that, that's exactly what I have been doing myself.

We need to bite the bullet and fight for our own regulations. While we remain ICV's we will always have this problem.

I didn't want to say anything, but I really take offence to criticism against manufacturers and particularly myself. Who here would really know what manufacturers are doing to help ICV compliance. Yes not all are proactive, yes there is always more that can be done, but there is a lot of work that is being performed behind the scenes. Same goes for engineers, a lot of proactive work there as well.

And I can tell you that holding a meeting of this type at a particular manufacturers place of business, like the meeting at DRB, is the wrong approach.

I attended the Nov 07 meeting long before I had any intentions of becoming a manufacturer.

But this battle on ESC is just too far off for me. I'm currently fighting for emissions at the moment.
