Re: [pvusers] Trace & UL listing

[David Rostenne <davidro@magma.ca>]

It seems clear enough to me that the UL folks were not willing to 
take the time to explain that they have recently changed their rules, 
and that the Trace hardware in question does not comply to the new 
rules... if the hardware is used in a certain way.

Is there any reason that the people at UL were unwilling to explain 
the situation in detail? They could help avoid a lot of 
speculation... I wonder as well how seriously anyone can take them if 
they do not back up their claims with the data/report and references 
to which rulesets were applied and the test results.

cheers!
