[TCML] Andy Lau's Suit

[Terry Blake]

I can see the reason to de-certify, but I am still wondering what the 
certification is and what formalized testing was used to get the 
certification?  Is it a standard that can be used to measure other 
high-voltage suits?  Having built such a suit myself, I can see value in 
being able to say it has met such-and-such certification.

Mine was put together for less than $1000 and is seen taking hits from 
dual drsstc's, each putting out 8-10KW and each achieving up to 15 foot 
sparks.  I did survive in this un-certified suit, but perhaps 
certification could make my high-voltage exploits even safer?  
High-voltage is all about safety you know.

Here is the entire photo-shoot from this teslathon.

So, is there an actual certification document somewhere and if so, can I 
see it?

Is my survival in the suit is all it takes to certify it?
