German approach

The details of procedure and expression of results are something of a compromise, being a compilation of the German approach and the British approach. Two procedures are specified, using a rotating or non-rotating test piece respectively. In principle, the abrasion should be more uniform if the test piece is rotated during test. The standard abradant is specified in terms... 

Results can either be expressed as a relative volume loss with the abradant normalized relative to a standard rubber or as an abrasion index relative to a standard rubber. The former is the original German approach and the latter is that approach favoured by, for example, British standards. Two standard rubbers are specified which originate from the German and British standards. This is a fine example of the chicken and egg problem of standard rubber and abradant. To understand the situation it must be appreciated that an accurately specified standard abradant has been available in Germany for many years, but the rubber used to check it has a formulation of no relevance to real products and is very difficult to reproduce in laboratories other than that of its origin. The British standard rubber is based on a tire tread and, hence, has practical relevance.

The Netherlands - because of the innovative approaches that appear to be in use in relation both to m aging chemical risks and in OHS more widely. Also because in many respects it represents a hybrid of Nordic and Germanic approaches to labour relations and to regulating OHS (as well as being influenced by British pragmatism and the recommendations of the Robens Committee). 

Duisberg did not use the phrase division of labor lightly for him, it clearly was the central tenet of his basic conception of chemical works. It was, in ct, on the basis of American funiliarity with extensive division of labor that he thought the German approach to be best suited to American chemical industries.

The infiuence of the German approach to engineering ethics has been less influential in other countries than the American approach to engineering ethics.
