Product Testing

Product testing is a crucial step in the development and manufacturing process. Routine testing helps to measure a product’s performance, safety and quality compliance with recognised standards, or to ensure the product meets the required specifications.

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.

We use a range of test methods for product testing, including:

Performance and functionality testing
Durability testing
Reliability testing
Safety tests
Prototype testing and analysis

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.

Supporting you and your customers with reliable testing

Product testing helps consumers understand what to expect from a product. By providing objective data on features, functionality, and performance, consumers can make decisions based on their specific needs and preferences. When consumers have access to accurate and reliable information about a product’s capabilities, performance, and value, it empowers them to make informed purchasing decisions.

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.

Testing is an essential part of any product development process. Here's why:

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. During the design and manufacturing process, it is essential to carry out product testing to make sure the product effectively fulfills these functional requirements and specifications.

Product Limitations

Conducting tests in the initial phases of product development enables manufacturers to obtain knowledge about the constraints of their products. This aids in reducing the chances of failures and minimising potential health, safety, and legal consequences. It also offers essential guidance to consumers regarding the proper use of the product.

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. Product testing can also provide support regarding the quality and functionality of a product compared to existing offerings in the market.

Customer Satisfaction

In order to ensure customer satisfaction and drive sales, a product must effectively serve its purpose and deliver on all its commitments. By subjecting the product to rigorous testing before it reaches the market, brands can guarantee that their offering will not only meet customer expectations but also foster loyalty among customers.
