Compliance engineering refers to the process of ensuring that products, systems or services comply with applicable legal requirements, standards and regulations.
As a rule, compliance engineering comprises the following steps:
1. Analyzing the applicable regulations and standards that apply to the product or service in question.
2. Development of specifications and requirements that must be met to ensure compliance.
3. Evaluating and reviewing the design, materials and manufacturing process to ensure that they meet the requirements.
4. Conducting tests, inspections and audits to verify compliance.
5. Documenting all actions taken and providing evidence of compliance.
Compliance engineering is critical for companies in many industries to avoid legal liability, ensure the safety of products and services, and maintain consumer confidence. It also helps to minimize the risk of penalties, lawsuits and other legal consequences.
