Definition
检验 (jiǎnyàn) means 'to test/inspect' and implies verifying against a standard or criterion, often in formal, technical, or scientific contexts (e.g., product quality, medical tests). It is more rigorous and specific than the general check 检查 (jiǎnchá), which can be a simple look-over. 检验 is not used for routine checks like checking homework.
