I understand that this means to perfecr the product so that it conforms to technical standards. Is this correct, and is there are precise translation for 'qualification technique' in English? Thanks!

to my mind certification is different... But who knows!!! as I love to say "the man on the mountain knows"

I fear that certification is more formal, type agreement fom some authoriy or othe (afnor and the like or any EU body) So in doubt would prefer qualification, which admittedly is a bit hazy and fuzzy, but could fit in without entering into too muwc details... a cowardly approach I confess... But when in doubt I prefer the low profile, as if not perfect, at least not too wrong

agree  Bourth (X): If Asker's INTERPRETATION is correct, "compliance" would be correct, but "qualification" could refer to things other than compliance with standards, and probably does.
