I do find it a little stupid to spend large amounts of time to prove something that is known to be true as truth because of some silly goose starting a rumor about falsified certificates.

But it also seems to be something that was called for.. But as much as it is an annoyance i don't see the others who sell these pumps going to the hassle of confirming these certifications.

My family thinks I'm a drug addict because of this hobby
