Product certification often depends on decisions made long before a device enters the test chamber. A recent In Compliance Magazine article highlights how proactive preparation can mean the difference between a smooth certification process and a costly delay.
Treating compliance as an early design discipline helps teams identify issues while they are easier to fix. That includes researching standards early, designing with shielding and grounding in mind, and running pre-compliance tests. Complete documentation and early collaboration with test labs are just as critical for avoiding unnecessary delays.
For those of you who have been through it:
