engineer - maybe we can write a better requirement that reflects real-world conditions, with test conditions having repeatable results.
manager - maybe these engineers can come up with new requirements that will force everyone to buy new standards and more lab time. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Derek Walton Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2012 2:00 PM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [PSES] e-standard.org "The cheapest standards in the world" Derek Walton mentioned MilStds - the cost is front-loaded by U.S. tax dollars, and as the fed government has never been accused of having a profit motive, there is no force from the 'invisible hand' (Adam Smith) driving high standards costs. So... are we saying that standards are made to make money for someone... or am I nieve thinking they were all about making sure products were evaluated properly for sale in a market place? - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
