Qualification & Compliance
Audit trails, evidence bundles, and compliance support for regulated hardware design in Synth EE.
Qualification & Compliance
Synth Enterprise Edition includes an automated qualification framework for engineering teams working under regulatory requirements — industrial, aerospace, automotive, and medical hardware applications.
Why It Matters
Hardware designs in regulated domains must demonstrate that the tools used in the design process are qualified — meaning the tool behaves predictably, its outputs are verifiable, and any deviations are traceable. Synth EE's qualification features are designed to support:
- IPC-2221 / IPC Class 3 — high-reliability PCB fabrication standards
- DO-254 — airborne electronic hardware assurance (avionics)
- ISO 26262 — functional safety for automotive electronics
- IEC 62443 — industrial control system security (for hardware supply chain)
What Synth EE Generates
Every build in Synth EE produces an evidence bundle alongside the standard design artifacts:
| Artifact | Contents |
|---|---|
| Build manifest | Synth version, DSL file hash, timestamp, and build parameters |
| DRC evidence | Full DRC report with rule definitions and pass/fail results |
| Netlist hash | SHA-256 digest of the output netlist, verifiable against the source |
| Compiler log | Structured log of every placement decision and routing pass |
| Attestation signature | Cryptographic signature over the full bundle (available in confidential compute configurations) |
Downloading Evidence
From a completed build in SynthUI:
- Open the Build Details page.
- Click Download Evidence Bundle.
- You receive a
.zipcontaining all artifacts and amanifest.jsondescribing their contents and hashes.
Auditor Access
The Auditor role provides read-only access to all qualification logs, DRC reports, and evidence bundles across your organization — without being able to trigger builds or modify designs. This is the appropriate role for quality engineers, certifying authorities, or external reviewers.
See Teams & Access Control for how to assign the Auditor role.
