This problem is a UK government area of research interest (ARI) that was originally posted at https://ari.org.uk/ by a UK government organisation to indicate that they are keen to see research related to this area.
In terms of product testing, what evidence exists for ways in which designers can effectively test and evidence whether combinations of products forming ‘systems’ are safe (e.g. using digital modelling)? What is proportionate and feasible? What requirements could be placed on manufacturers to support designers when putting a system together?
Key areas here are developing our understanding of the drivers of behaviour across the industry, and the benefits and potential risks that technological change may bring.
