Abstract

Engineering techniques work in some contexts and not others. And so it is with engineering rules. As the book documents, some standard-setting efforts succeed and some don’t. Particularly because private standard-setting processes have increasingly supplied agencies with the material for government rules with the force of law, ranging from building codes to regulations on toy safety and nuclear power plant operation, projects like Engineering Rules should prompt greater reflection on our processes for designing and imposing norms.
