For whoever's benefits, merger is not seldomly seen these days. I have a problem with it when any of the safety critical component manufacturers has a merger. They still manufacture the same components but the label is changed. Then we have to modify our safety reports to reflect the changes otherwise you'll get variation notices from different safety agency inspectors.
Each of these minor changes will cost the company several hundred dollars. If we don't use many of the component and the component and the unit are cheap, we will have a great cost increase. I feel something wrong in this process. I would like to hear from other safety professionals how you handle the situation. TIA.
