In my opinion, increasing environmental compliance requirements are putting the
development of new flame retardants at the forefront of safety technology. We
are seeing more restrictions on halogenated flame retardants which eliminates a
lot of the long-standing methods used for plastics. There
Hazard-based safety engineering rather than strictly prescriptive standards is
one obvious leading edge change. There are always technology specific advances
such as USB power supply output levels.
I'm sure others will have other examples.

All,
As an EMC engineer I'm aware of new technologies and challenges in EMC testing
- 5G and IoT, time domain measurements, risk management, millimeter wave, etc.
Idle curiosity made me wonder - what are leading topics on the Product Safety
side?
Thanks,
David Schaefer
