whitepaper Preparedness and the Force of Law2007-10-20 High Alert
  It is a long held and accepted legal tenet that a Presidential Executive Order has the force of law and is for all intent and purpose "the law of the land." Such Executive Orders have been issued from time to time by Presidents to meet specific national needs or executive prerogative. On January 29, 2000, a memorandum from the Counsel to the President presented the legal argument that a Presidential Directive had the same legal effectiveness as an Executive Order. Following the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, President Bush issues a series of Homeland Security Presidential Directives (HSPD) designed to improve the nation's posture of preparedness.

whitepaper SGS Case Study: Loading Supervision2007-09-20
  East and South East Asia are the destinations for wind turbines from Schleswig-Holstein in Germany. The route to Japan or South Korea via ship across the ocean is far and the freight is valuable: every component of a wind turbine is custom-made for the wind park at site. The vital function of the SGS inspectors is to secure the cargo during the transport against all possible damages. Every step of the loading process is accompanied, checked and documented by the employees at the port of loading. It would be difficult and costly if clients from Asia would supervise the loading of their wind turbines themselves. SGS specialists are available at almost all ports around the globe.
