The FIA believes that reduction of risk is the prime quality assurance driver for installations of cabling - minimising the probability of complaints and litigation - because if installers minimise the levels of risk to themselves then they also minimise the risk to their customers and vice versa.

Installers committed to the “reduction of risk” will be very careful not to over-commit and will better understand the requirements of the various standards they are asked to work - but risk reduction has more far-reaching consequences:
from the viewpoint of a client and their
consultant, installers that seek to
minimise risk will tend to employ
competent persons in a professional
manner - emphasising, rather than
undermining, that competence
from the viewpoint of a cabling
component supplier, installers that
minimise risk will be more soundly-
based commercially and will ask
pertinent questions of their suppliers
in order to use their products correctly
