There is a mile of difference between unethical and harmful, especially when in normal use the item isn't harmful at all, it's only harmful if it's abused. Ivory hunting is harmful to elephants. The reason I mentioned that one example (rather than say a pesticide) is that sufficiently old examples have grandfather rights. Which you might be suggesting doesn't apply to mercury instruments?? The grandfather rights to antique mercury based instruments apply to unrepaired ones (whether still working or otherwise). as soon as they (the mechanism) is newly repaired they have to follow the same rules as newly made, which means that their sale is banned. Cite? If true, I agree; but I've never come across a situation that a repaired grandfathered item is suddenly ungrandfathered. Advice such as https://www.gov.uk/government/upload...5/LIT_7498.pdf [Mercury in Measuring Devices-Guidance Note-November 2015 (Version 3)] refers to restrictions of sale of items to the general public not applying to - (a) measuring devices more than 50 years old on 3 October 2007; (b) barometers (except barometers within point (a)) until 3 October 2009. Whether or not one of those items has been repaired seems not to be considered. |
