Because the 'chit' that is signed by an F&L supplier when you hand your contaminated and double bagged kit to one of us is a waste transfer note (something required under civil EP law) and only a supplier who has undertaken the correct civilian accredited EP courses can sign it.
Just like the large amount of civilian accreditations/regulations creeping into the world of the Cosford master race there is also a large amount creeping into the lowly world of stacking. It has to be complied with unfortunately, with the threat of large fines to individuals (not the MoD as a whole) the not so subtle carrot hanging off the stick.
