Not to get involved too much in this.. It could be deemed reasonable.. but it could also be deemed 'unreasonable'... as (according to the percentages).. this is preventing people who are not in the IFA from getting work. I am all for standards.. but when it comes to Curatorial work - the final sanction is not being able to work in the county again... if you put in a substandard piece of work, then it will cost the client.. who is not likely to re-employ. Also the DC archaeologist can lawfully require work to be redone until it meets the specifications.. I ask for IFA standards to be adhered to.. but never for MIFA or RAO only..... not yet anyway... )
