Look forward to the revenue in H2. Had a look through the validation link and quite severe penalties for failure to meet compliance requirements. Hope they pursue Innova - not likely

Civil and criminal liabilities
To ensure compliance with the proposed validation requirements we propose that breaching a requirement should amount to a criminal offence and that the enforcement authority should be able to apply a range of different sanctions so that, where enforcement action is necessary, it is proportionate to the offence in question. Therefore, we suggest that the enforcement authority should be able to use following range of sanctions:
forfeiture of goods – allowing the seizure of unvalidated tests
monetary penalties – these are civil sanctions which would be classed as debt to the Secretary of State
fines – fines levied on individuals or companies following prosecution
custodial sentences – for individuals or corporate officers on summary conviction in England and Wales, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 51 weeks (this is limited to 6 months until section 281 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 is in force), in Scotland or Northern Ireland, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months
