It must be kept in mind that design for manufacture and assembly and design for disassembly may sometimes be in conflict with each other. For example, snap-fits may accelerate the assembly process but impede rapid disassembly if they are not designed properly. Furthermore, safety rules and regulations, such as for consumer electronics and household appliances, require the protection of electrical circuits to avoid accidents. In other products, easy access may also encourage the theft of valuable components [32].
