Consumer Products and Retail
Toys, textiles, furniture, electrical goods, cosmetics and household products must be safe, correctly labelled and fit for the markets they are sold in. We test products against the standards that apply, inspect them before they ship, audit the factories that make them and certify that they meet the requirements buyers and regulators demand.
Services for the product lifecycle
Our laboratories test for chemical safety, flammability, mechanical hazards, electrical safety, durability and performance. Where a market requires a specific mark or declaration, we can carry out the assessment that supports it.
Inspection teams check production and finished goods at the factory, so that problems are found before a container leaves. Factory audits cover quality systems, social compliance and security so that you know who is making your products and how.

Protecting brands and consumers
A recall damages trust that took years to build. Testing and inspection at the right point in the chain reduces that risk and gives you the documentation to show diligence if a question is ever raised.
Counterfeit test reports are a growing problem in sourcing. If a supplier presents a report or certificate bearing our name, it can be checked online in seconds.
