Conformity assessment is regarded as the industry-accepted method of demonstrating a product adheres and conforms to a standard. Conformity assessment can include testing, inspection, certificate issuance and registration.
Conformity assessment testing is the process by which an end-user or purchaser is provided the assurance and desired level of confidence that a device conforms to an identified standard or test specification.
