The major concern among responsible designers is that they are being expected to do the impossible - predict ALL possible scenarios and misuses that might occur, and ensure that no hazard results.
Furthermore, in the event of an incident, the authorities are in the position of having to predict nothing; it is then known which of a trillion possible (however improbable) scenarios occurred, and it is then being deemed 'obvious' that the designer should have foreseen it. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk After swimming across the Hellespont, I felt like a Hero. ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
