He said that may be true Wuxi can gain the FIE approval. The tricks is they sent the up to standard materials and samples for the CE and FIE test and made with other non approved(cheaper) material for the market. If they made with the approved materials the cost will be very closed to the European products. As a fencer and concern your safety and money what will you choose?? That is why there are two versions on the test reports,one from UK (the product on the market)and one from Wuxi (the product form the laboratory) I believe both reports are true and sound. We need to have some wisdom to choose the what you want to buy for your safety issue.
