Board of Trade

The Berlin City electrical engineer M. Kallmann reported in 1899 on a system for controlling stray currents of electric railways [64]. As early as 1894, the Board of Trade in London issued a safety regulation for the British electric railways which specified a potential differential of not more than 1.5 V where the pipeline was positive to the rails, but 4.5 V with the rails positive. Extensive research was undertaken on reducing the risk of stray current in the soil by metallic connections from pipes to rails. However, as one writer noted, a procedure on these lines should definitely be discouraged as it carries the seed of its own destruction [64].

The third option outlined in Article 11 (7) provides for an exception in which, at the request of a member state of the EU, an individual inspection body in a third country can be approved following an assessment of that inspection body using appropriate means. This does not necessarily require an on-site inspection of the inspection body. However, this option has seen rather limited use, with just one instance up to mid 2003 (Swedish National Board of Trade 2003). 

The impact of the EU conformity assessment system has been to encourage third countries to adopt the EU regulation, given that in practice they need to demonstrate compliance in order to obtain third country status (Swedish National Board of Trade 2003). Most other countries have followed the EU example and recognise only domestically based certification, except for the USA and Japan that allow foreign certification bodies to apply directly for recognition.

In Great Britain, voluntary bodies such as the Steam Users Association supplied reports to the government beginning in 1854. In the period from 1881 to 1907, there were still a total of 1871 boiler explosions investigated by the Board of Trade. These explosions accounted for 732 fatalities and 1563 non-fatal injuries.

The price of wheat has been the dominant factor affecting the price that U.S. farmers must receive for safflower seed to put safflower into their cropping plans. In its early years of U.S. production, safflower oil competed directly with soybean oil for market share and soybean futures on the Chicago Board of Trade, offered as a reasonable medium for hedging safflower seed and oil prices. But, more recently, safflower prices have borne little relationship to the market for soybean oil, and safflower oil has become a product that is impossible to hedge. 

Meldola was appointed a member of the Board of Trade Committee on the Supply of Chemical Products. In 1915 he became chairman of the advisory councils of the newly formed British Dyes Ltd, and of the forerunner of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research. At that time, indigo was one of the many important synthetic dyes suddenly no longer available from German factories.
