Vastavushindamisnõuded

Vastavushindamisnõuded are a set of criteria or standards that products, services, or systems must meet to demonstrate compliance with specific regulations, directives, or technical specifications. These requirements are established by regulatory bodies, industry organizations, or international standards committees to ensure safety, quality, interoperability, or other desired attributes. The purpose of vastavushindamisnõuded is to provide a clear framework for evaluating whether a particular entity conforms to the applicable rules.

Meeting these requirements typically involves a process of assessment, testing, or auditing. This assessment can be carried out by the manufacturer or service provider themselves (self-declaration) or by an independent third-party certification body. The outcome of the assessment determines whether the entity can be deemed compliant, often leading to the issuance of a certificate or the right to affix a conformity mark. Examples of areas where vastavushindamisnõuded are prevalent include electrical safety, environmental protection, data privacy, and cybersecurity. Adherence to these demands is often mandatory for market access.
