Spotted this at a number of sites now, often with a lot of speculation and - in some cases - fairly fundamental factual errors but, just in case anyone has missed it, this is what DJI has to say on the current state of play with the introduction of the new drone classification markings in the EU and UK:
"Resolve" implies seeking a long term solution rather than just a clarification to me, which bodes well, although that will clearly depend on how willing the various government bodies are to agree on some form of compromise. Given an already stated reluctance to allow for retrospective markings and the legal hassle of amending dates already written into statute books I'm not getting my hopes up too much, but time will tell.
The standards for drone class identification labels have not been finalized yet.
As of today, the notified bodies that are necessary to provide class identification labels have not yet been appointed by authorities in any EU state. Therefore, we refrain from speculating what kind of class identification label might apply to current or future DJI products.
DJI participates in advising on the standards and is working with potential notified body candidates, and we will be working on assuring compliance for relevant products accordingly.
We are aware that the current situation has led to many uncertainties amongst users when it comes to compliance of DJI drones with the new European Drone Regulations and class identification labels.
Rest assured this issue is of the utmost importance to us, and we hope to resolve it as quickly as is feasibly possible.
