In Germany, nothing works without forms from the cradle to the grave...
Germany has its own DIN standards alongside the ISO standards and a lot of laws
This need a big authorities department to manage that all. For that we pay our taxes and fees on anything we need their stamp on our papers.
What would we be bored without the authorities.....
And yes, you are absolutely right.
The conversation did not bring anything new to the regulations but it brought us a big step forward in the acceptance. He seems to be impressed from our project and that we talk before go ahead with it. He is now even trying to find the most cost-effective way for us in the area of exhaust emission reports. Usually this takes place only in laboratory conditions from 1000 euros upwards depending on the effort. If I get a certified performance Test Bench report from the engine in Germany, there are no problems. For all other performance test bench reports I would have to prove the certification, which every engine builder must have, otherwise the measuring devices would not be certified/calibrated.
