pre-compliance

If pre-compliance activities are good for discovering EMC design weaknesses early in product development, why not apply the same thought process to product safety?

Pre-compliance testing saves time and costs by detecting potential problems early in the design process. The use of appropriate tools and techniques improves the chances of passing the full compliance test on the first try.

Without much effort and expense, it is possible to perform pre-compliance testing in a manner that saves considerable time and money without commercial or financial risks associated with purchasing a full-compliance test facility.
