TÜV Rheinland (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. has spent substantial effort in developing this product and it is one of the first of its kind in industry. Having the subject information easily available to "competition" would negate the advantage they have achieved by developing this product. Not protecting the details of the design will result in financial hardship.

The applicant requests the exhibits selected above as short term confidential be withheld from public view for a period of specify number of days not to exceed 180 days from the date of the Grant of Equipment Authorization and prior to marketing.
