What is it?
The validation of technical specifications is an essential step in ensuring the reliability, transparency, and credibility of the technical requirements adopted by organizations, consortia, trade associations, or industry bodies.Through validation, an independent body such as CSQA verifies that the specification is consistent, complete and applicable , and that it meets the quality, safety and sustainability objectives for which it was designed.
Key points
Validation aims to:- Analyze the structure and coherence of the specification , verifying the clarity of the requirements and their measurability.
- Assess regulatory compliance , with applicable laws, technical regulations or international standards.
- Ensure the feasibility of applying the requirements by verifying that they can be objectively assessed during audits or inspections.
- Provide independent technical feedback , which helps improve the robustness and credibility of the document.
Advantages
- Greater authority and recognition of the specification among institutions, operators and stakeholders.
- Transparency and reliability in defining requirements, which thus become clear, verifiable and replicable.
- Facilitating certification or accreditation processes , thanks to clear technical criteria and evaluation parameters.
- Reduction of the risk of dispute or ambiguity in the application of requirements.
- Support for the governance of consortia or associations, providing a solid technical basis for managing and monitoring activities.
