    Certification is very much a political issue with the various bureaucrats
    engaging in a turf war.

    Example: the horse shoe life ring so common on sailboats is not approved in
    Canada. Why? Are Canadian and US people built diferently? or do they swim
    differently? <grin>

    I have to deal with certification issues constantly in my work.
    When you dig deeper into the background you often discover it becomes a
    question of some office or other refusing to give blanket approval based on
    certifications from the other country and only because its a different
    country.
    They can always find some tiny detail to cite as the reason for refusing
    approval.

    Cheers
    Arild
