In the area of risk taking, I worked for a company that produced (mass produced) consumer equipment.
Division A of the company performed radiated emissions on 5 units and would perform yearly audit tests on 5 units from the manufacturing line. Division B performed radiated emissions on ONE unit (which was a prototype) and did not perform audits. Both divisions products were audited in the EU, and both had emissions problems. Both divisions submitted data to the authority describing the testing that had been performed on the units. Division A was asked to please fix the problem, but was allowed to continue shipping units to the EU. Division B was asked to please stop shipping units into the EU until the problem was fixed. Division A is still shipping product, Division B is gone... BTW: I was in Division C which followed Division A's practices. Chris K.
