"Klippel verified" car audio?

[goldark]

Recently, I started looking into car audio and came across Rockford Fostgate car speakers. From the date of the article, this is old news to people who are into car audio, but it's new to me.

Apparently, they are "Klippel verified:" https://rockfordfosgate.com/news/rockford-fosgate-first-klippel-verified-under-new-certification/

Does anyone know what this actually means? Did they design their speakers using an NFS? Or is there some other standard that makes a speaker "Klippel verified?"

Klippel has offered testing products long before the NFS. Imagine they are referring to something like this -> https://www.erinsaudiocorner.com/driveunits/scanspeak-illuminator-12mu_4731t-00/.

Such testing was popular on diymobileaudio.com 15+ years ago when I was last involved in car audio -> https://www.diymobileaudio.com/forums/klippel-reviews-driver-specs.27/.

It's like an Intel Inside badge. Basically tells you nothing, but some people think it is a stamp of approval.
