This is the way most engineering work is certified, actually. A standards bureau creates a standard, the engineering design organization follows it and self-certifies that they did.
Only in case of failure is the self-certification process checked for errors, usually by insurance investigators, because they have the most incentives to do so.
The visible examples of public failures investigated by public agencies are the exception, in my understanding.
- HeyLaughingBoy 8y agoExactly. This is how the medical device industry does it. One important part you skipped was the mandatory audits of the development process (often with little or no warning: FDA audit team announces that they'll be there tomorrow). I honestly don't think there's any other realistic way of doing it properly. The true experts are the ones doing the work.
