How it's used
This term carries a formal and technical tone, often used in professional, legal, or industrial contexts. Unlike general inspection words such as 檢查, it specifically implies a process of verifying whether an item meets a predefined set of official standards or requirements.
Examples
The government will send people to inspect and certify this batch of goods.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 檢查, which is a general term for checking or looking over something. Use 檢定 only when the focus is on formal certification or meeting specific quality benchmarks.
