While that sounds reasonable, the CBs don't get a vote. That's all driven by a higher governing body. If you choose to go for certification, you have to play by the rules.
Side note: compliance to a standard is voluntary. You're not required to be certified to enter, for example, the EU market (and as
@chris1price points out, not even recognized in the US). Without it, though, clearance for market in those countries that have standardized on it (harmonized) will be more costly and more difficult.
