Most things it possible to define safety specs that are achievable at low enough cost and with so much margin to make cultural differences irrelevant.Stop with the "cultural" BS. Lot of other standards have safety built in - including tolerances allowed, MTBF etc.
The fact is the standards are setup in such a way that the "test" can be done by a 3rd party in a day. That is what thinking "inside the box" looks like.
What is stupid is not just the levels - but defending them as well.
Road safety is different in every country as are crash safety standards.
I guess I just have no idea how to define a universal standard much less a way to test it.
