Our Competencies

First, a risk analysis is conducted to determine the qualification needs of tools, known as “Tool Classification.” In the second step, “Tool Qualification,” rigorous testing is performed to increase confidence in critical tools. For tool providers, we combine both steps into “Tool Qualification Kits,” which allow tool users to perform classification and validation with minimal effort for their projects.

Tool and Library Qualification

Why is Qualification Essential?

In safety-critical industries, the risks of using unqualified tools and libraries could be catastrophic. Simply put, it’s unacceptable. Lives depend on the reliability of these systems. Qualification is not an option; it’s a mandatory, rigorous process dictated by the highest safety and security standards. It’s the only way to guarantee your tools perform exactly as intended, eliminating the potential for disastrous failures. Because this is our core, and only, competency, Validas AG delivers a level of comprehensive and effective qualification unmatched worldwide.

  • Minimize System Failures. Drastically reduces the risk of costly and dangerous system failures caused by tool or library defects.
  • Boost Efficiency & Reduce Costs. Streamline your development process, minimize potential rework, and ultimately enhance productivity.
