Comment 22 for bug 1373404

Unfortunately, it turns out that the document I found which appeared to be the EU regulation was not the actual regulation. It was a preparatory document for producing the regulation. (The original document I was pointed to in bug 1370591 was a press release, even further off the mark.)

As a result, the design did not comply with the regulation. This explains Albert's observation here that some handsets show "a notification at 70/80% that doesn't let you increase the volume unless you say 'ok, sure'": that requirement is part of the actual regulation.

Complying with the regulation is now tracked in bug 1480912, which has to be private for now because it includes copyrighted attachments.
