i changed the topic header since i am definately branching out from the
original topic

ISO as in ISO9000 etc?
that is scary, because if you have ever been through what it takes to gain
that certification, you will know it means NOTHING about product quality,
just that every product that rolls out the door will be the same.
ISO9000/9001 is a papertrail. an audit process. says nothing about the how
good something is built.
i know there are other ISO standards like i think 14000 for manufacturing
processes tries to address some of the quality issues. but just on face value
is something is ISO certified, it doesn't necessarily mean dick.

that being said, i am going to have a look in my CEC code book to see what it
says about the Grn/Ye ground colours.

anyways, my two cents worth.
