Part 4. Final Assembly and Validation
We have prepared the wire and terminated the ends. Now, we turn a collection of parts into a verified product. This chapter covers the final integration and the rigorous testing required to guarantee performance.
We walk through the assembly and approval process:
- Form Board & Routing: Transforming 2D drawings into a physical 3D reality using jig boards to enforce geometry.
- The "User Interface": Why correct labeling and identification are critical for the person installing the harness.
- Electrical Validation: Moving beyond visual checks to CIR and Hipot testing—proving the harness is safe and electrically sound.
- Traceability: The final line of defense that locks in quality before shipment.
This is the difference between a bundle of wires and a certified system.
