Verification protocols

Verification protocols

Each PQS performance specification is accompanied by one or more verification protocols which specify the testing procedures that must be used to demonstrate product compliance with the functional requirements. Verification protocols define the type of testing procedure that a product must undergo successfully in order to be prequalified.
