Criteria define how conformity is measured.
Documents, tests, and inspections support claims about properties.
Results are judged against defined criteria.
A declaration or certificate communicates the result.
Conformity assessment supports market access, procurement, and trust in safety- or quality-critical products. Its meaning depends on criteria, scope, and assessor independence.
