Certification
Product certification
Independent assessment of products, processes and services against applicable requirements and schemes.
Product certification attests that a product meets specified requirements — usually a product standard or specification — under a certification scheme that defines sampling, testing and surveillance. See product certification explained.
BVS product certification is structured to ISO/IEC 17065: defined schemes, testing by competent laboratories, factory or process assessment where the scheme requires it, and surveillance of ongoing production.
