Same message I've been communicating here internally as well.  Management 
certainly supports and expects to have it right the first time but educating on 
what needs to happen and by who to accomplish that seems to be a recurring 
theme.

That is BAD. I forestalled it with my group by explaining that while the safety 
and EMC experts did the tests, THEY were responsible for THEIR designs 
conforming. They were, of course, free to ask advice and assistance from the 
experts, but when the designs came to be tested, I said that I did not expected 
them to fail.

Senior managers found this arrangement seriously intellectually challenging. Of 
course, what it does is eliminate almost all friction between the designers and 
the 'testers' - they are all in the same boat, which is as it should be.
