ABSTRACT: Certification and guidelines are necessary and valuable tools for increasing the general quality and safety of natural hazard mitigation products and are a sign that the industry has somewhat matured. But sometimes, care must be taken that standardisation does not come at the expense of an efficient and comprehensive solution. Discussed herein are some examples where adapting a standard solution has led to a better, safer solution.
RÉSUMÉ: Des certifications et des directives sont des instruments importants et nécessaires pour améliorer la qualité et la sécurité des produits contre les risques naturels. D'ailleurs ils sont aussi une indication de la maturation de cette partie de l'industrie. Mais parfois on doit faire attention, que la standardisation ne prévienne pas de solution efficiente et complète. Ici quelques exemples seront discutés, où l'adaptation d'un produit standard a mené à une solution meilleure et plus sûre.
