I have to disagree with the statement "Only a few enlightened companies build in safety and EMC from Day 1 of the design phase."
Many companies rely on already qualified devices for safety and to some extent EMC. As such much of the safety EMC considerations are built in form the start (notwithstanding the end system must pass). I believe a more accurate statement would be something like: "Well run companies with good life cycle planning, incorporating techniques, and oversight of regulatory design will lead to added value for the customer".

Pardon? This is standard industry practice. It shouldn't be, but it is. The design is 'finished' and THEN the safety and EMC experts get to re-design it for compliance at huge cost and very damaging delay. Only a few enlightened companies build in safety and EMC from Day 1 of the design phase. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
