Sampling
Sampling plans and chain-of-custody from site to laboratory.
Standards-based methods
Testing to ISO, ASTM, EN, GSO and SASO methods.
Reports you can use
Certified reports with interpretation and next steps.
7 SPECIALIST CAPABILITIES
What the service can cover
Select the capabilities that match your Hardlines Testing requirement, operating context and agreed delivery stage.
Load-Resistance Testing
Assess product performance under defined loads. Reports document the tested configuration, observed deformation or damage and comparison with agreed acceptance criteria.
Product Stability Testing
Evaluate stability in specified use configurations. Findings identify limitations relevant to product design, operating instructions or further assessment.
Impact-Resistance Testing
Assess product response to defined impacts. Results document damage and functional changes to support design review and supplier corrective action.
Repeated-Use Durability Testing
Evaluate products through specified operating cycles. Findings show observed wear, failures and performance changes within the tested usage conditions.
Mechanical Hazard Assessment
Coordinate evaluation of relevant mechanical hazards based on product construction and intended users. Reports identify findings requiring design changes or additional testing.
Targeted Chemical Hazard Testing
Arrange chemical testing relevant to the product’s materials, intended use and destination-market requirements. The scope identifies substances and assessment criteria before testing.
Product Defect & Supplier Investigations
Compare submitted products with approved samples or specifications. Documented findings support supplier discussions, corrective-action requests and verification of revised product designs.
HOW WE WORK
From test question to usable findings
A defined workflow keeps the work aligned with the approved scope and makes progress, decisions and handover easier to manage.
Scope your requirement- 01
Define the requirement
Confirm the sample or product, applicable specification and decision the testing must support.
- 02
Build the test programme
Agree specimens, operating conditions, measurements, methods and acceptance criteria before work begins.
- 03
Coordinate testing
Manage the assignment with an appropriate specialist partner laboratory and keep the agreed scope visible.
- 04
Report and decide
Present measured results, observed changes, deviations, limitations and priorities for any further investigation.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
