Certification
Certification involves the formal confirmation that a product, system, process, or organization meets defined requirements and standards. It is carried out through an independent audit and serves as proof of quality, safety, or compliance.
In logistics and industry, certifications are used, for example, for management systems, measuring instruments, software solutions, and technical equipment. They confirm compliance with standards, legal requirements, or industry-specific requirements. For DWS systems, scales, and dimensioning solutions, certifications can form an important basis for use in compliance with calibration regulations or for international use, and they build trust in the reliability of the technologies employed.
Practical example:
A manufacturer has a dimensioning system tested and certified so that the measured values can be used for defined logistics billing processes.
