It is often mandatory by regulation to implement such practice when designing and developing products within regulated industries e.g. Medical devices . Medical devices Since 1990, the Food and Drug Administration FDA has required that medical device manufacturers that want to market medical devices in the USA follow Design Control requirements 21 CFR 820.30 . At a high level, this regulation requires Establishment of an intended use and design inputs A design plan Periodic design reviews throughout the design process Confirmation that the design outputs conform to the design inputs through Design verification did we design the device right? Design validation did we design the right device? Translation of the design into manufacturable specifications Clear documentation of the entire process in a design history file or DHF. The Medical Devices Directive MDD 93 42 EEC similarly lists several requirements regarding the design of a medical device.

Foreign Exchange Foreign exchange controls are various forms of controls imposed by a government on the purchase sale of foreign currency currencies by residents or on the purchase sale of local currency by nonresidents. Common foreign exchange controls include Banning the use of foreign currency within the country Banning locals from possessing foreign currency Restricting currency exchange to government approved exchangers Fixed exchange rates Restrictions on the amount of currency that may be imported or exported Countries with foreign exchange controls are also known as Article 14 countries, after the provision in the International Monetary Fund agreement allowing exchange controls for transitional economies. Such controls used to be common in most countries, particularly poorer ones, until the 1990s when free trade and globalization started a trend towards economic liberalization. Today, countries which still impose exchange controls are the exception rather than the rule.
