Design & Development Control

Poor Design Control costs time and money, and its effects can increase exponentially as a project moves forward.

Design Control involves a system of checks and balances that guide the Design and Development process throughout the product life-cycle. Establishment of an Engineering Management System, including the assigning of Engineering Authority, development of project specific processes and establishment of the design assurance process, are all elements contributing to a robust design control framework.

High quality Design Control is also required for many products sold in the USA, Europe, Canada and Australia. For instance, ISO13485 and the FDA have specific and compatible requirements for Design Control of Medical Devices.

Nova can audit, assess, and assist with the development of your Engineering Management System and project specific processes to address the requirements of ISO9001 and any industry specific design control standards.
