What is Product Testing?
There are many ways to carry out Product Testing for safety and legal compliance. We carry out a range of mechanical, chemical and metallurgical assessments to confirm if a product is made of the right material, is suitable for it’s intended purpose, and also identify any potential flaws and defects before the product enters the market.
The basis for Product Testing is often an existing formal test method or product standard. Other testing situations, such as prototype testing may require a bespoke testing method to be developed to analyse the new product’s performance. Product Testing serves as a valuable tool for consumers, enabling them to make well-informed decisions, compare options, and choose products that align with their needs and expectations. It promotes transparency in the marketplace and encourages manufacturers to focus on delivering quality and value for money.
Who we've partnered with
Key benefits of Product Testing
Quality Compliance and Safety
For a product to be sold on the market, it must meet the necessary quality standards, comply with government regulations, and be suitable for its intended purpose.
Product Limitations
Conducting tests in the initial phases of product development enables manufacturers to obtain knowledge about the constraints of their products.
Innovation and Investment
Product testing results can play a pivotal role in obtaining patents for new inventions and innovations, and attract attention from potential investors.
Customer Satisfaction
Rigorous Product Testing prior to the product reaching a market guarantees that products meet customer expectations.

It also offers essential guidance to consumers regarding the proper use of the product.We use a range of test methods for Product Testing, including:
