The Guild couldn't put too much pressure on the Alchemy Association. Besides, a careful study of the hastily introduced safety standards revealed plenty of loopholes to exploit.
Artisanal alchemy workshops like the Violet Clock Shop could likely apply to the Guild for a special permit, remove a few high-risk products from their shelves, and then continue operating normally.
Of course, this all depended on whether the Alchemy Apprentices were willing to study the new regulations and fight to preserve the techniques passed down by their masters.
Otherwise, following the many standards Rorschach had published—which were practically technical manuals—they could just build an entirely new enterprise based on his system. It would completely lack artistry, but its functionality would be absolutely maxed out.
