The Quality Assurance team at Copylite works closely with the Research & Development team to certify Copylite's after-market products. Together, both departments ensure that after-market—a.k.a. compatible, generic, and/or alternative—products meet or exceed high-quality standards set by the industry.
The Quality Assurance team develops quality control and product testing procedures to ensure that products are compliant with OEM specifications and to govern the positive disposal of non-conforming items. New products are closely inspected and tested in real-world scenarios, allowing the Quality Assurance staff to make recommendations for product revisions, thereby optimizing product design. Periodic inspection of existing products allows the Quality Assurance team to verify adherence to the latest design revisions and to achieve their goal of providing the highest quality after-market products.
