Survey Blames Founding Members for GHTF’s Limited Impact

The perceived reluctance of Australia, Canada, the EU, Japan and the U.S. to incorporate GHTF recommendations into their existing regulations for devices has contributed to the task force not being well known beyond the community of regulators and technical experts, according to a recent survey of industry and regulatory representatives.
