Obligatory Testing refers to tests required by laws, regulations, or policies. These tests often focus on safety or security concerns. Organisations must comply with these requirements to operate legally and safely.
Key Aspects:
- Ensures compliance with legal standards
- Addresses safety and security risks
- May involve regular audits and assessments
- Often mandated by government agencies or industry standards
Common Examples:
- Safety testing for medical devices
- Security assessments for financial systems
- Environmental impact assessments for construction projects
- Quality assurance tests for food products
Organisations must document and report results from obligatory testing. Failure to comply can result in penalties, legal action, or operational shutdowns.
