    Business Challenge
    In today's highly complex and changing consumer marketplace, manufacturers and retailers need to be confident that the products they deliver to market meet consumer expectations along with the required safety, regulatory and government standards globally. The need to meet these objectives is crucial. Non-compliant products risk being recalled. Poor quality products can result in consumer dissatisfaction and product returns. Both can negatively impact brand image.

    Solution
    What is Consumer Product Testing?
    Consumer product testing is the evaluation of goods sold in the retail marketplace. Testing can determine if products comply with regulatory requirements and industry standards, along with identifying how a product will perform for the consumer or against a competitors' products. Customizing an appropriate testing program for your products can provide you with the ability to better manage risk and protect your company's brand. Comprehensive services are available for a full-range of consumer products (softlines/textiles; toys and juvenile products; electrical and electronics; hardlines/hard goods; and health, beauty, household and food products) throughout the supply chain.

    FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
    Are there different testing requirements for countries?
    In many cases regulations vary by country. Additionally, in the US some regulations differ even by state. This can present challenges for products distributed in multiple markets. Identifying where a product will be distributed is an important first step toward regulatory compliance.
    What is transit testing and would it be beneficial for my products?
    As products are sourced and shipped worldwide to meet consumer demands, the need for durable packaging continues to grow. Determining if products will arrive intact at their destination can increase consumer satisfaction and help reduce the costs normally associated with damaged goods. Transit testing offers the best means to anticipate how products will perform in shipping.

    With increasing concern about the adverse affects on our health and environment from hazardous substances, several countries including the United States, have enacted legislation and restrictions for a number of hazardous substances. These requirements affect a variety of industries including apparel, footwear, hardlines, electronic and electrical, toys and juvenile products. There is also continued pressure from governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations and a changing competitive marketplace to reduce the exposure of the user and environment to various chemicals that present health hazards. Many brands, retailers and manufacturers have adopted Restricted Substances List (RSL) programs to address this challenge.
