The EB list is populated by cells that have been submitted by importers and distributors. This ensures that you can buy the product from an EU source with a product liability in place. We have already had one instance where a driver personally importing a cell and having an incident with it is left holding the baby.
Cells are measured in accordance with the rules as written, and checks are also made on construction as I understand it to ensure that, for example, the case won't split apart when you look at it!
Yes, you can run to any rules a Section agrees to as regards the EB requirements. Over the years 12th have variously run to rules like allowing any rotor (when rotors were restricted by the EB list) and allowing any hard-case cell under £25 before the 'sport' list came in.
Instead of banging on endlessly about it on here, why doesn't someone say they will put forward a proposal at your Section AGM. All the information you need is on the BRCA site under the EB 'Section'. Terry.SC's proposal looks like the right course of action - JFDI?!!!
