Agreed: I pondered over using 'integrated', but I couldn't think of a word in the context of the message as a whole that would do. I nearly put 'disintegrated' with a smiley. It might even give a more correct impression. > >Unfortunately, that is what is happening. Yes, well, of course, I wouldn't have done it that way, but you didn't ask me. (;-) I support the 'hazard-based' principle, but I would have used it to assess and refine the provisions of the current standards. As a separate study, I would have looked at the cases where the same goal (e.g. 'protection from electric shock') is approached differently in the two standards, and picked the one that fits best with 'hazard-based'; and other common-sense criteria, such as being easy to test. I expect that now you will tell me that is exactly what you did at the beginning of the project! > >Worse still, it additionally incorporates its >original objectives of being product and >technology independent.
