Morning all, I don't get all the hype over non compliance. Let's assume JC knows what day it is, and has worked extensively in India in the recent past with some measured success according to Boris. It wasn't long ago that he assured all about India not being interested in trade standards and compliant levels, they wanted cheap, that was all. Every CC competitor had compliant standards attached to product, which gave CC the edge on cost. Fast forward 3 years and ,supposedly, India cannot move without having numbers attached. EESL are installing at pace, this is known. If product is compliant, is unknown, but it was all extensively tested to the benchmark and all passed with ease. This is a measuring meter, it's not a pacemaker, they were first introduced commercially in 1889 !! So, there is no real science behind a meter, the SI is the clever bit as we know. My thoughts are, if they work, India will keep going using the benchmark, not compliance Red tape. If that is incorrect, our Executive Chairman has made a monumental error of judgement.
