Hassle at work today – a customer placed an order giving me part numbers for jacks and adaptors. I placed the order, got the parts, delivered them, then the hassle started with a phone call:<\/p>\n

“These jacks we’ve had delivered…they don’t have CE marking on them…”
\n“Um, that’s because you didn’t request it – you asked for an 02-7815-0100, if you’d wanted it CE marked, the part number would be 02-7815C<\/strong>0100.” (I’m SO<\/em> helpful…by the way, these are manufacturer part numbers – not ours)
\n“Well, we need them with CE marking – can you arrange it?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And so, numerous phone calls and emails later, I’ve found out there is a ‘kit’ (probably just a reinforced hose with anti-burst valves) which can be fitted (along with a nice sticker \ud83d\ude10 ) for the princely sum of \u00a3430 per jack \ud83d\ude2f<\/p>\n

Now these ‘kits’ cannot possibly be anything major – but quoting 4 weeks delivery (ex-US)?<\/p>\n

I’m tempted to leave it a week, get the jacks back in the workshop for the ‘fitting’, slap some stickers on them and send them back – job done.<\/p>\n

But that wouldn’t be professional, and is probably borderline illegal.<\/p>\n

Sigh…I thought ISO9001 was a paper chasing exercise, but CE marking? I’ve looked throught the directives and can’t find any specific category hydraulic aircraft jacks fit into…<\/p>\n

OK, rant over – thanks for listening \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
