I would actually consider IEEs regulatory approach a little weird they seem to tend to get obcessed with one or two details while ignoring a lot of other areas that need review and perhaps they could even learn (shock horror!) from European practice in some instances.
E.g. Why did they allow very primative rewirable fuses to remain for so long when Diazed/Neozed was around and in use all over the place?!
Ireland's ECTI (the equivilant of the IEE) has tended to shop around for best practices worldwide and I think we're finally seeing some really sensible regulations. We've aspects of IEE regs, aspects of German etc etc.
