Compliance: Conquer the rules for a better product

Abstract

It’s very difficult to say whether a product being designed will adhere to all the regulatory & compliance needs with just customer specifications alone. Sometimes to comply with the regulatory requirement, we may need to change the Product specification. In addition, Reliability specification & demonstration plans are not drawn early in the project cycle leading to program delays & challenges in the field. There are many standards, models which companies follow for the ease of designing a compliant product. Here, in this paper some of the major aspects which can be crucial are highlighted, in return help in getting a better product through “First Time Right” design principles, comprehensive compliance tests and application of comprehensive Reliability practices.
