I'm afraid that is not the exact wording in the law would allow the
inspectors to establish their own rules:( Also - if you look at
paragraph 1.5 Regulation on certification of information sequrity
requirements for information sequrity: "subject to mandatory
certification means, including foreing-made, designed to protect
information constituting state secrets, and *other information
restricted*, as well as tools used in the management of environmentally
hazardous facilities." In accordance with advice received from FSTEC -
freebsd used for operations with the data containing the name and etc.
is forbidden:( I'll be only too glad if my analisis of the situation is
not true, but if it's still true, then from january 1, many disputes will
be resolved criminal cases(
