I was hoping someone would be able to answer this more authoritatively than
I can, but if there have been any replies, I missed them.  I am aware that
the US FDA imposes a BCI type requirement like MIL-STD-461 CS114.  Of course
that is for medical equipment.  RTCA/DO-160 imposes a very similar BCI
requirement on commercial avionics.  SAE ARP 1972 included BCI testing but
was just a recommended practice, I don't know of any entity that actually
levied it as a requirement.  The automotive world in this country at least
has adopted BCI techniques as well.  There were in-house specs (I recall
seeing a GM spec) and a better version has been adopted as an SAE J-type
requirement industry-wide.  That's about all I can think of off the top of
my head.
