Testing and certification organizations
Testing and certification organizations are independent entities that evaluate products, services, or systems to ensure they meet specific safety, quality, and performance standards. They conduct rigorous testing—like examining durability, safety features, or environmental impact—and, if requirements are met, provide certification or approval. This process helps consumers and businesses trust that products are reliable and compliant with regulations. Examples include organizations like UL or TÜV. Their role is crucial in maintaining industry standards and ensuring public safety by verifying that products behave as claimed and are safe to use.
