It makes little difference regulation wise whether we're in or out. Fcc and ul are as significant as ce because the regulatory bodies world wide have been harmonising the specifications for many years.

The real quirk is germany and their gs specification: Unless you can certify your product to that, german industry won't take it. So much for the "common market" but since germany is the master there they get away with it.

aka hegemony!
