I believe that if enough companies adhere to voluntary standards, the standards can become compulsory. I haven't quite gotten to that part of CFR Title 40 yet. But soon.
Ask me about chromium emission standards for electroplating and anodizing tanks, though, and I'm money.
That is kind of the way internatinal law functions, too. Voluntary standards are better than nothing but why should we even get to that point on such a clear issue?
Sometimes voluntary standards take the place of temporary standards. If the EPA knows it's going to take 5 years to get a new standard in place, it might be better to have a voluntary standard in the interim. Again, I'm not a environmental attorney, so I don't know if that's what actually happens. On the other hand, the family law adage might prove true: There's nothing so permanent as a temporary order.
