Regulatory Compliance Testing Services

As more jurisdictions adopt legislation making it necessary for companies to declare their products’ material and chemical make-up, and restricting the use of hazardous substances, manufacturers and importers need to ensure that their products, parts and components comply in order to maintain market access.

There are two main areas of risk:

• Product material risk: from selecting materials and components in products and using indirect materials in the manufacturing process
• Supplier risk: from product variation, engineering or manufacturing changes, multiple suppliers and contamination through the supply chain.

Intertek’s Product Testing services can be tailored to complement compliance strategies for numerous health and environmental regulations including: REACH,  CPSIA , RoHS, California Proposition 65, and many other global legislations and requirements.  Intertek offers solutions to help companies develop and execute product testing plans to determine a product’s compliance status with regards to material/chemical make-up; to determine which elements need to be replaced or redesigned; and to determine how new compliant materials and components will perform in the field: providing not only environmental compliance but also product reliability.
