In both Brazilian and American industrial and academic contexts, the use of untested material is generally frowned upon due to safety, quality, and liability concerns. In Brazil, quality control standards have become increasingly important in manufacturing and construction sectors. In the USA, untested material in public works or consumer products can lead to legal liability. The term is frequently used in supply chain management, product development, and scientific research to emphasize the importance of validation before deployment or publication.
