Industrial certifications like ISO 9000, six sigma, etc... are kind of a joke. What happens to those companies if they fail to maintain an acceptable standard?

Industrial certifications like ISO 9000, six sigma, etc... are kind of a joke. What happens to those companies if they fail to maintain an acceptable standard? Quality goes down? Who cares? There's no liability.
A better comparison would be something like UL or FCC. Make the standards and testing body liable for their claims. Require PEs to be part of the organization and personally responsible for signing off.
This is a solved problem. We build bridges and electronics that don't kill people using similar methods.
- intrasight 11y agoThe difference is that those two examples have insurance/liability implications and therefore there is an incentive by some party (insurance industry) to do the certification. There is no equivalent insurance or tort market for emissions.
