Before submitting the product for Conformity Assessment Testing to meet mandatory / regulatory safety, EMC, environmental and performance testing and certification, Product Verification and Validation is a critically important step when aiming to launch the product in global markets to ensure that the product is built right (verification or engineering correctness) and the right product is built (validation for specific use cases), without which the regulatory testing and certification can turn out to be very expensive, time consuming trial and error and cumbersome process.

It is a business prudence to not skip the V&V stage to ensure higher probability of certification, faster time to market, lower total compliance cost and stronger defensibility during audits, while absence of V&V can lead to failed certification cycles, increased redesign cost, launch delays. 

Verification is technical proof that the product meets engineering specifications and design inputs, and includes

• Documentation Verification encompassing Drawings, specs, frozen software versions, Risk analysis completed and Traceability matrix built
• Design Verification encompassing Electrical schematics vs requirements check, PCB layout verification (creepage, clearance, thermal paths), Firmware logic verification, and Mechanical tolerance checks
• Component & Material Verification including BOM compliance (approved parts, derating, lifecycle status), Supplier CoC validation and Material compliance pre-check
• Engineering Testing (Pre-Compliance) encompassing Electrical safety pre-tests (leakage, insulation resistance), EMC pre-scan testing, Environmental stress screening (temperature, vibration), Performance bench testing and others

Validation proves the product meets intended use, user environment, and real-world conditions and it comprises of 

• Functional Validation - Real operating scenarios, Edge case performance testing and Fail-safe and fault mode testing
• User & Application Validation like Field trials or pilot deployment, Human-machine interface usability testing, Installation and maintenance validation
• Reliability Validation including Accelerated life testing, Duty cycle simulation, MTBF prediction validation
• System Level Validation including Interoperability with other systems, Network / software ecosystem compatibility, Cybersecurity behavior validation for connected devices (SCADA / IoT etc.)

Readiness before approaching Test labs and Certification bodies, we will ensure the client is equipped with

• Technical Readiness – frozen design, stable manufacturing process and ready golden sample
• Test Readiness - Pre-compliance test reports, Worst-case test samples identified and ready calibration traceability
• Regulatory Documentation - Risk management file, Technical construction file clearly identified directives and standards with a perfectly drafted and mapped test plans
