Designing for Regulatory Compliance: How Early Design Decisions Determine Certification Success
Most regulatory compliance failures are not caused by misunderstood standards or poor testing execution. They originate much earlier, during design decisions that quietly embed regulatory risk into the product. By the time formal RF or EMC testing begins, many issues have already been addressed. Why Compliance Problems Are Usually Design Problems Design choices define how…
