In quality assurance, Inspection, Testing, and Certification are related but serve different purposes.
Inspection checks whether the product is manufactured as per drawing, specification, and order requirement.
Example: Visual check, dimension verification, quantity and marking verification.
Output: Inspection Report (Accept/Reject)
Testing verifies the performance and technical properties of the product using instruments or laboratory methods.
Example: Pressure test, hardness test, chemical analysis.
Output: Test Report with measured values
Certification confirms that an organization or product complies with international standards through audit.
Example: ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001
Output: Certificate
In simple terms:
- Inspection → Checks appearance & conformity
- Testing → Proves performance
- Certification → Builds trust & compliance
