Product certification
Product certification is a process whereby a product is inspected by an independent, accredited organisation and confirmed as meeting certain specified standards or requirements. These standards may relate to safety, quality, environmental compatibility or other specific criteria relevant to the product in question. The certification process usually involves thorough inspection and testing of the product to ensure that it complies with the applicable standards.
Product certification offers benefits to both manufacturers and consumers. For manufacturers, certification can facilitate access to new markets and increase customer confidence in the quality and safety of their products. Consumers benefit from the assurance that certified products have undergone rigorous testing and comply with applicable safety and quality standards. This helps to minimise risks and increase general product safety.
