I will be discussing the impact a business can come under if the correct legislation standards are not followed by any business or company.

• If you choose to ignore the regulation when designing a product it can lead you to a great loss because if some one gets injured or has a accident in the process of making the product the company will have to pay for the costs which comes under a loss for the business because if the company followed the regulation the accident is less likely to occur.

British Standards Institution

BSI Group, also known as the British Standards Institution (or BSI) is a multinational business services provider whose principal activity is the production of standards and the supply of standards-related services.

Advantages of BSI

• If you follow the BSI standards you will be guaranteed to produce a top quality product which meets the demand of the costumers and the market.

• BSI are known for making sure companies produce the product to the best of there ability and meet all the legislations which are set.

Disadvantages of not following BSI standards

If a company does not follow the BSI standards they can end up producing a bad product which will lead to a failure in the company because the product won’t have a demand in the market and this will cost the company a lot because they did not follow the BSI standards.

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

Is the branch of electrical sciences which studies the unintentional generation, propagation and reception of electromagnetic energy with reference to the unwanted effects (Electromagnetic interference, or EMI) that such energy may induce.

Advantages of following the EMC Regulation

There are number of advantages for following the EMC. Some include:

• The product will be safely handled when produced.
• The technical parts will be made under the impact of EMC regulation which means the product will have a longer life.
• The product will use less electricity which means you will save money and can recycle parts, this will lead to costumers buying your product because it will long last and energy efficient which will please the costumers so EMA plays an important part for any business.

Consequences for not following EMC

• You will produce a product which the costumers are not interested in which will lead you a negative design produced and it can lead you to a down fall and costing the company a lot of money.

• For example if the company does not follow EMC standards and end up making a product which doesn’t meet the terms of EMC then the company can end up being sacked or sued.

• There can be problems with the wiring or functions of the product for example if you make a computer and EMC standards are ignored you might end making a corrupt computer which might interfere with other systems. This will lead to a bad relationship with the costumers and a lost to the company.

Conclusion  

It is vital a company or business follows all regulations are set because if you choose to ignore them the company can be sacked for not having up to standard health and safety working environment which is crucial. So you must follow the standards and regulations set in order to operate properly and safely.
