摘要私人认证作为风险管理和质量保证的一种手段，可以提供优于政府监管的优势，包括上级技术专长，更好地检查和监督受监管实体，提高对消费者的响应能力，以及更高的效率。本文探讨了两个例子，可靠的私人认证在监管领域-消防安全和犹太食品-政治反对和资源限制，挫败了政府的监管工作。文章确定了可靠的私营认证的主要特点，并分析了其相对于政府监管的制度优势。私人认证的批评者质疑其合法性，声称私人监管的参与性，透明度和责任比政府监管少。文章回应了这些说法，认为这里提出的两个私人认证的例子与基于这些合法性标准的政府监管相比是有利的
Abstract Private certification as a means of risk regulation and quality assurance can offer advantages over government regulation, including superior technical expertise, better inspection and monitoring of regulated entities, increased responsiveness to consumers, and greater efficiency. This Article examines two examples of reliable private certification in regulatory arenas - fire safety and kosher food - where political opposition and resource constraints have frustrated government regulatory efforts. The Article identifies key features of reliable private certification and analyzes its comparative institutional advantages over government regulation. Critics of private certification question its legitimacy, asserting that private regulation is less participatory, transparent, and accountable than government regulation. The Article responds to these claims, arguing that the two examples of private certification presented here compare favorably with government regulation based on these criteria of legitimacy
