I thought that compliance testing was supposed to be done on the
"as-shipped" product, not the designer's prototype.
Neither: the prototype is not representative and 'as shipped' is too
late. Maybe the 'pre-production' phase has been eliminated from modern
manufacturing, but it used to produce 5 to 10 sample products using the
purchased parts and built under as close to production conditions as
possible. In those days, some moulded parts might be replaced by
fabricated parts, but with 3D printing....
These samples not only increase confidence in the design, and eliminate
bugs, but can be used for compliance testing.
