The concept of precautionary action or "precautics" is the basis of quality-safety-environment management, the cornerstone of any sustainable development strategy. This trend towards integrating management systems into engineering is already leading to a harmonization of reference systems and development logics. This augurs well for studies in what is emerging as a new discipline: comparative engineering.
The precautionary principle responds to everyone's need to protect themselves legally, and not to expose customers or stakeholders to uncontrolled risk. Not surprisingly, this concept has already led to the concept of social ethics. Standardization in this sense, on the other hand,...
