摘要：	Testing procedures for roadside safety features is only one part of the integrated activities that result in a safety device being designed, developed, tested, evaluated, approved as acceptable highway hardware and implemented for use on the national highway system. From the perspective of a hardware industry representative, addressing the concerns of the hardware industry requires looking at the whole design, development, testing, evaluation, approval, implementation and use process. The types of issues encountered by the hardware industry that reduce its ability to be successful include the following: developing products to pass new standards when the new standards are not enforced; developing products to standards that are vague or inconsistently interpreted; developing products that have short product lives due to further changes in the standards causing the products to become obsolete; and concerns that products will be misapplied and result in unacceptable performance, injuries, fatalities and product liability problems. This presentation focuses on the key issues that affect these concerns and then breaks the issues down into specific categories.
