He said according to the highway code I should Have reflectors on my pedals (which I knew).
I assume he was wearing suitable high-viz?
[url= https://www.gov.uk/rules-pedestrians-1-to-35/general-guidance-1-to-6 ]Highway Code: Rules for pedestrians, Rule 3[/url]Help other road users to see you. Wear or carry something light-coloured, bright or fluorescent in poor daylight conditions. When it is dark, use reflective materials (e.g. armbands, sashes, waistcoats, jackets, footwear), which can be seen by drivers using headlights up to three times as far away as non-reflective materials.

That highway code part for pedestrians is genius. I hope I bump into him again.
You bumped into him? 😯 Obviously he needs that Hi Viz
DONK:
It's both - they have to submit a set of samples and pay a wodge of cash. Remember this is per model and if they update the model then unless they can convince the standards authority that the change doesn't affect the rating then they have to go through the certification again.
Depending on what is being tested, possibly the number of regulations and laws relating to that device, then you could be looking at several thousand pounds per test/certification. I know some consumer electronics devices cost upwards of €50K and take 3 months to get certified but I'm pretty certain a bicycle light won't be at that sort of level.
