[ Table Of Content ]
Introduction
Introduction to Drone Certification - Overview
The Drone Certification is a web-based regulatory tool that allows manufacturers, importers, and drone operators to present product documentation to the relevant authorities online to be approved.
The system ensures that drones satisfy safety standards, quality and technical requirements before they are approved to fly on controlled airspace.
What is a Drone Certificate ?
A Drone Certificate is a formal document provided by a regulatory body or a qualified certification authority, stating that a UAV is in accordance with safety, quality, and operation regulations.
Any company planning to produce, import or operate drones must undergo registration and testing before commercialization.
Why Manufacturers Need It?
Drone certification ensures the safety of the air and consumer protection as well as regulation of drones by aviation authorities. Lack of compliance can lead to grounding, fines, or suspension.
Digital certification systems minimize the number of manual mistakes and simplify the process of approvals.
