A great pity the accreditation didn't involve actual testing of
devices to prove they worked and that their performance was at least
close to the sellers invariably vastly overstated claims.

Neither of the only two "accredited" toy windmills in the UK has had
to pass any performance test at all and the makers hopelessly over
inflated performance claims for them now come appear to come with
government approval (which of course may well be a poisoned chalice
in its own right).
