Obviously there are those who may not want to have a standard in place for their products. The idea is to make sure that you're focusing your standard on limitations that are real such as health and safety, those kinds of things.
One of the important things that we believe standards provides is that, in terms of regulatory reform, in terms of regulation, regulations take years to amend and to change, but we're able to adapt regulations that reference to standards. We're able to change a standard and modernize a standard. We do it on a regular basis. In regulation, referencing to that standard makes sure that you're keeping up with the current state of the art.
The other thing with our standards is that, the way standards are written is performance based, so what we're looking for is the outcome of a product. It's not necessary that your personal flotation device be made by someone, but rather that it does certain things, that it's able to support certain weight, that it turns people over in the right direction if they're in water, and all that.
If your product meets that standard then that product can be certified and be out in the marketplace. It allows innovation; that's what it does. If someone comes up with a better way to make a personal flotation device, as long as it performs, it will be certified. In that sense, I think for small business, we support innovation. The more referencing to standards, the more in keeping with modern-day practices. Regulations take a long time to change.
