Reading many of these posts makes my chuckle. Years ago when I was leading the design team that developed the first Bose car stereo, manufacters claims for many car stereos were outrageous. Many of the quality manufactures got together and formed an adhock commitee to generate testing requierements. I sat on this committee. We did this to clean up the inustry and try and stop the FTC from stepping it. The FTC had previously prolugated regulations for consumer audio amplifiers that in no way represented real use conditions and caused some real issues in the industry. The cost of compliance with these regulations was very high and prevented many smaller companies from getting products to market.
As far as the Nebraska tests go, they were developed to rate large equipment used in full time farming applications. They are very expensive to submit equipment to, when you consider the testing costs, the equipment costs and the cost of all the support personel that you need to dedicate a testing program. I don't believe that much fo this testing is relevent to consumer grade CUT's and is way overkill. Just read the testing requirement and you'll see what I mean. That is not to say that certain testing and compliance to certain requirements would not benefit the industry, I just don't believe that Nebraska type testing is the answer.
Just my thoughts.
