It's simple... Sombeody realised that the regs need to be certified the same as bottles... Two or 3 companies that make their regs in China decided to get them approved... At the same time someone began to raise a stink about the lack of certification for most currently available regs...
So we come to this moment in time... When (not if) this becomes a reality a couple people will be giggling madly while counting their money...
To Russ: I'm not saying you're in on the whole thing, in fact I believe you're not. But don't you smell the faul stench around the whole thing yourself? Anyways, let me know how it goes Russ...
I think you are confused none of the approved regs are made in china and the ones that are have met the regulations they need for the states so I am sure they are safe.
If the companies who have checked out the regs as far as Europe are concerned wanted to take advantage of it they would have done, in fact they gave all the information they had paid a fortune for freely to all the others so they could see what they had to do.
And if you "did not think I am in on the whole thing" why did you mention it !
Stink! Let me make this point very clear, if they wanted to make a stink, they could have caused all insurance companies to remove cover and nobody but a fool would have run a site (on air) or a tournament anywhere in Europe.
Unless they changed most of the regs in use, they would and could have made a fortune. they didn't because they are far above that sort of nonsense.
