And the reason they charge so much is probably 2 do with this

"As a certifier, you need to hold $20 million public liability insurance and $5 million professional indemnity insurance"

And the fact there is no set charge, its just negotiated between certifiers and their customers.

Plus they will need to hold the insurance for a minimum of 5 years after they cease certifications and the kicker is not the amount (every tradey etc has at least that amount) but the risk of the vocation. In the case of Automotive related businesses the risk that you will get involved in law suits is astronomically high to say a Fridge Tech or a PC repairer

I Did not know turbo timers were illegal..

I did but every time I post it up the fact it ends up starting an 'animated discussion' so I gave up...

But I applaud the intent of the thread and perhaps a 'cut and paste' of all links as they filter in could be either collated and added to the first post of the thread or put up as a sticky?
