Testing, inspection, and certification are three distinct but complementary steps in ensuring product compliance and quality. Testing involves evaluating a product’s materials, components, or performance against defined standards through controlled experiments. Inspection is the systematic examination of a product, process, or system to verify that it meets specified requirements. Certification is the formal confirmation, issued by an accredited certification body, that a product complies with applicable regulations or standards.
Together, these processes provide manufacturers and customers with confidence in a product’s safety, reliability, and market readiness.
