Thanks in advice.
To be honest, I really do not know. To which rule to you refer? Do you mean that the blade has rto be composed of at least 85% wood materials?
If this is what you mean, this rule has been in effect for a very long time. But if you mean why limit to just 85%? I really do not know. When I ask this question the answer given to me by the experts is that they wish to maintain some type of uniformity in the blades, and if any type of material would be allowed, we would not know what would happen. But frankly speaking, in the very near future, we will start authorization or maybe approval of blades. So, the whole question will be reviewed.

Все переводить не буду. Главное, что Адхам говорит вот что:
Честно говоря, мы скоро начнем процедуру сертификации оснований. Так что мы этот вопрос полностью еще раз рассмотрим (JimT- это он про правило 85%).
Просто охренеть можно... уж это совсем будет выглядеть как чисто коммерческий наезд на всех, кто чем-то "не тем" играет. Скоро докатимся до сертификации обуви и полотенец...
