Verification by Test involves special test equipment and/or instrumentation. It also involves running multiple “tests” as activities to collect data on the system that will show the requirement has been met. Verification by Inspection is when you can use one of your senses to determine if the system meets a requirement. The word inspection is often misused when there is a need to examine paperwork from other verification activities as a prerequisite to completing one of the other verification methods.

Meet The Team
Steve & Jerry met in a company lobby nearly 25 years ago as competitors, and they hit it off immediately (despite their attempts to fight for the same business). Before long, they worked together for a successful agency. In 2001, they took their friendship and professional partnership to another level, and founded Electri-Rep of Minnesota. Though the industry has experienced much change over the years, Steve and Jerry have always shared a common goal of success through hard work, creative thinking, and maintaining integrity—a characteristic they have become synonymous with throughout the industry. Together, they introduce the “New” ERNorth.

The business climate is constantly changing, and the new brand is an example of how we adapt well in our business. We intentionally negotiate the gray areas of “our industry boundaries,” where PCB assembly crosses over into Box Build, and from there into Medical Device Manufacturing. We go wherever we have to, to create and manage opportunities for our partners.
Steve Paulson | Partner
We set a goal to update our brand in 2015 and we are getting it done. We wanted to develop a fresh new look in ‘ERNorth,’ that would be updated and clean, and indicative of our independence, forward-thinking, and quota-busting results!
