I worked for a building Life Safety installation and service company.
We were always consulted as were other companies on what should regulatory bodies mandate for safety equipment for new building types as technology and other devices advance. The goal of the regulators is to improve human safety, which makes sense. However, they are also not experts in building safety design and advancement.
Interpreted properly, industry got to spec out their future revenue stream by influencing the regulators requirements with new / better equipment.
The correct term is
regulatory capture in political circles.
It's a vicious circle. . . all thrown down the drain by the Supreme court's decision for corporate influence.
