Testing verifies specifications that cannot be checked visually. Tests are conducted on finished products, materials or components according to defined standards, regulations and the client's performance requirements.
The catalogue covers chemical, construction, electrical, electromagnetic compatibility, flammability, microbiological, microscopy, optical, physical and sensory testing, as well as product testing and product evaluation of samples against safety regulations, standards and contractual specifications.
Modalities
- Chemical TestingChemical testing covers a wide range of tests for both food and non-food products and helps to determine composition, contaminants and performance, as well as compliance with standards or regulations.
- Construction TestingConstruction testing verifies that products have been well constructed. It is used in the garment industry and also for footwear and other fabricated products.
- Electrical TestingAs well as ensuring electrical safety, products have to comply with EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) requirements to ensure that they do not cause interference with other electrical products being used close by.
- Electromagnetic Compatibility TestingHousehold electrical products have to be safe and legal. There are also specific requirements regarding batteries. A wide range of tests is covered.
- Flammability TestingAll kinds of products need to be checked for flammability: toys, textiles, building products and furniture, among others.
- Microbiological TestingMicrobiological testing is essential to ensure food safety and hygiene, but it is also necessary for cosmetics, hygiene products, pharmaceuticals and water.
- Microscopy TestingMicroscopy may be employed for many purposes: to identify foreign bodies, to check types of fibres, to assess welding faults and many others.
- Optical TestingTo ensure that sunglasses and goggles protect as expected, they have to be tested to confirm that their optical properties are acceptable.
- Physical TestingPhysical testing covers an immense variety of tests concerning the physical properties of the whole range of consumer goods, from the hardness of metals to the flexing of plastics.
- Product Evaluation TestingProduct Evaluation involves comprehensive testing and comparison in order to verify whether the submitted product sample meets the defined and applicable safety regulations, standards and quality performance requirements.
- Product TestingTesting of finished products, materials or components allows specifications that cannot be inspected visually to be verified. Product testing is conducted on the basis of defined standards, regulations and the client's performance requirements. Usually, a few test samples are either submitted by the supplier or drawn during inspection visits, and consequently cannot be considered representative of an entire consignment.
- Sensory TestingAlthough chemical, physical and microbiological tests tell a great deal about products, only the human sensory approach completes the picture. These tests cover consumer trials and expert panels, preference testing and difference checks.
