Product certifications – Validation, Verification & Performance
Proof that a specific product complies with all the required regulations or stipulations present within a contract or by an independent, national, or international organization. This proof also demonstrates the fulfillment of the various quality assurance and performance tests. Product life cycles are shrinking, and disruptive technologies are becoming the new norm. Speed to react to a shifting economy is creating a new set of standards for product and process development. All this leads us to a new set of challenges causing a re-evaluation of strategies for design and process verification and validation. This helps identify and minimize significant risks in the development process and accelerates the product to market.
