Equivalency Determination

Equivalency Determination is the process used by organizations to assess whether a product, service, or process matches the standards or requirements of a recognized certification or regulation. It involves comparing the item in question to an established benchmark to ensure it offers comparable quality, safety, or performance. This process is often used when a product isn't directly certified but needs to demonstrate it meets specific standards, allowing it to be used or accepted in place of a certified version. Ultimately, it confirms that the item is functionally equivalent to meet the required criteria.
