The text of the act itself just refers to "international standards", which
is about as fuzzy as you can get. Naturally if they allow people to cross out
sections on their application form and still accept them, it seems pretty
pointless to put them in in the first place.

BTW does anybody have any data on PRMD registration costs? The registration
here will now cost 500 CHF for a five year period (~294 ECU), is this high
or low compared to your national rates?
