EMUG Tech delivers five quality, testing, and validation service areas: design verification and validation covering requirements traceability, test programme planning, and V&V evidence management; virtual testing including FEA, CFD, HIL, SIL, and MIL simulation; physical testing support for rig, bench, environmental, EMC, NVH, durability, and crash test programmes; compliance and regulatory engineering for UNECE, EU type approval, EASA, FDA, and CE marking submissions; and process and quality audits covering IATF 16949, AS9100, ISO 9001, and VDA 6.3. All programmes follow the EMUG VALID Framework — Verify, Assess, Launch, Interpret, Document.

EMUG VALID is the five-phase quality, testing, and validation delivery methodology: Verify — requirements review, V&V scope definition, and test coverage assessment; Assess — test method selection and programme planning with resource and schedule; Launch — virtual and physical test execution with non-conformance management; Interpret — results analysis, root cause assessment, and margin evaluation; Document — certification documentation and regulatory submission preparation. VALID ensures every product requirement has a verification method, every test has an acceptance criterion, every result is interpreted by an engineer, and every piece of evidence is stored in PLM linked to the certified design revision.

Design verification confirms that the design output meets the design input requirements — checking that what was designed matches what was specified. A verified design meets its specifications. Design validation confirms that the product meets user needs and intended use — checking that what was specified was the right thing to specify. A validated product works correctly in the hands of the intended user in the intended use environment. Both are required by IATF 16949 and AS9100: IATF 16949 clause 8.3.4.3 requires design and development validation; clause 8.3.4.4 requires prototype programme and 8.3.4.5 product approval. ISO 26262 functional safety requires both confirmation measures (verification) and validation tests (validation). EMUG VALID programmes design the complete V&V scope covering both.

EMUG VALID programmes use virtual testing (FEA, CFD, MBS, HIL simulation) to explore the design space efficiently — analysing a wide range of conditions, load cases, and configurations that would be prohibitively expensive to test physically. Physical testing is then focused on: validating the simulation model with physical measurements on representative hardware; testing conditions where simulation accuracy is insufficient (material fracture, complex contact, real-world environmental variability); and producing the physical test evidence that regulatory authorities require even when simulation predicts compliance. This combined approach reduces physical test programme cost and duration by 30 to 50 percent compared to purely physical test programmes for complex products.

EMUG Tech covers quality standards and regulations across the sectors it serves: automotive — IATF 16949:2016, ISO 26262 functional safety, UNECE vehicle regulations, EU type approval, FMVSS, AIAG APQP and PPAP, VDA 6.3 process audit; aerospace — AS9100 Rev D, DO-178C software, DO-254 hardware, EASA Part 21 design organisation approval, FAA certification support; industrial and energy — ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, IEC 61508 functional safety, ATEX, CE marking (Machinery Directive, Low Voltage Directive, EMC Directive); medical — ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR Part 820, IEC 62304 software; and electronics — IPC-A-610, RoHS, REACH, FCC, CE marking.

EMUG Tech’s process and quality audit service covers: IATF 16949 readiness assessment identifying gaps against the standard before the certification audit, with gap closure support and mock audit; AS9100 Rev D readiness assessment and gap closure; VDA 6.3 process audit of manufacturing processes for automotive supplier evaluation or self-assessment; AIAG PPAP preparation — reviewing PPAP package completeness for Level 3, 4, and 5 submissions before customer submission; first-article inspection coordination for new supplier qualifications; and supply chain quality audit for supplier development and qualification programmes. Audit findings are documented with specific gap evidence, corrective action requirements, and implementation timeline — not just a checklist score.

EMUG VALID V&V evidence is stored in PLM — Teamcenter, Windchill, or 3DEXPERIENCE — using the PLM system’s simulation and test result management objects: Teamcenter Simulation Manager for CAE results and test data storage; Windchill ProductPoint for test execution records; and 3DEXPERIENCE simulation objects for SIMULIA-generated results. Each V&V evidence package is linked to the specific design item revision it certifies, ensuring the verification evidence always references the correct product configuration. The requirements traceability matrix is maintained in PLM linking requirements to test methods, test results, and compliance status — providing the complete design verification record that IATF 16949 and AS9100 auditors expect.
