Ernest Magog, the Chief Executive of the Lighting Industry Federation stated: "We are comfortable, despite our misgivings regarding some aspects of the legislation, that we are well placed to deliver compliance on behalf of our members".
He was supported by Geoff Young, Chief Executive of GAMBICA and a Director of B2B Compliance: "Both the lighting sector and the medical devices and monitoring and control instruments sectors have shown their commitment by ensuring that robust and practical systems are in place by the original deadlines - we now await the DTI to invite registration applications".
Both schemes have been developed by their respective industry sectors in recognition that the criteria for business-to-business products differ significantly to the requirements for household products.
