Active period
At the time of Engineer A's design work through Board's determination
Affected parties
Clients in severe weather zones
Engineer A
Engineering profession generally
Confidence
0.93
Importance
high
Subject
Severe weather design parameters existing in professional literature but not yet constituting formal standards at time of Engineer A's design
Terminated by
Parameters achieving formal standard status (prospective); Board's determination that parameters were not yet standards at relevant time
Triggering event
Publication of severe weather design parameters in professional literature without formal adoption as binding standards
Urgency level
medium
Source Evidence
Source text
engineers cannot be expected to incorporate each and every new and innovative technique or parameter that has not been fully tested or peer reviewed
Text references
Following a reasonable period of time, innovative techniques and parameters may be incorporated into generally accepted practice and at such time, once well defined, and as part of the body of technical knowledge, such techniques become standards that should be followed
Had those parameters and methods constituted 'standards,' this Board may have reached another result
engineers cannot be expected to incorporate each and every new and innovative technique or parameter that has not been fully tested or peer reviewed
the facts and circumstances in this case do not indicate that the severe weather design parameters and methods constituted 'standards'
