Apparently the use of ISO9000 type procedures in keeping track of quality / sources and storage make the colour codes unnecessary. What a foolish decision. ISO 9001 requires some form of marking and tracking of product, not procedures to avoid it. OK, the consultant who implemented the system is a lunatic, but the Lloyds/BVQI/TUV/whatever auditors should not have accepted it. I hope some day the Phillips/Feroxcube idiots make the crucial mishandling error and supply a defence industry with a large shipment of the wrong product... 73 Costas SV1XV
