Test Specimens

Test specimens are carefully prepared samples or units taken from a material, product, or system to evaluate its properties, quality, or performance. They are used in testing processes to assess factors like strength, durability, or composition, ensuring the final product meets specified standards. For example, a metal sample cut from a batch might be tested for hardness, or a piece of fabric examined for tear resistance. These specimens provide valuable data that helps manufacturers verify that their products are safe, reliable, and meet regulatory requirements before full-scale production or use.
