Welcome to the latest Raspberry Pi update from RS Components! Much has been happening behind the scenes since you received our last update, not least the start of compliance testing on the Raspberry Pi. Why are we doing this? Compliance testing is an essential part of bringing any electronic product to market. The Raspberry Pi is being tested to make sure it conforms to all the regulations that apply to electronic devices around the world. This means that we can be sure the Raspberry Pi we deliver to you meets the correct standards and is as safe as you would expect any electronic device you purchase to be. We�re working with the Raspberry Pi Foundation to manage the testing process as quickly as possible, while ensuring all tests are carried out to guarantee safety. More information is being posted on the Raspberry Pi website , as well as on our own FAQ pages rswww.com or DesignSpark. We�re also regularly tweeting updates on progress. Follow @RSElectronics on twitter to catch the latest news. Alongside this, we�ve also been contacting the first group of people who registered for a Raspberry Pi from RS, to help us plan delivery of the initial batch of boards. In next week�s update, we�ll provide more information on how we�re managing the queue and the order process.
