design certification

Design certification is a process where a governing authority, like the FAA for aircraft, reviews and approves a product’s design to ensure it meets safety, reliability, and performance standards before it is produced or used. This involves thorough testing, inspections, and review of engineering plans to confirm the design is safe and compliant with regulations. Once certified, the product can be manufactured, marketed, or operated, giving confidence to users and regulators that it adheres to established safety and quality criteria.
