• Evaluation costs are the fees a company pays for discovering defects in its products before they are delivered to customers; they are a form of quality control.

  • For most companies, the money that will be lost as a result of selling low-quality products or services far exceeds the cost of valuation.
  • Estimates are used in many industries, with costs depending on the degree of quality control and the stage of the production cycle at which the company is located.
  • Quality control is important to the reputation of the business, so the cost of evaluation is a necessary cost for the success of the company.
