Material & Product Testing

In today's cost conscious environment product testing is recognised as being critical in the prevention of premature product failure. The hidden costs of product/brand perception & tangible costs of rework, retool or recall costs due to failure cannot be ignored.

Smithers Rapra have developed a complete range of tests to provide their clients with a variety of tests to meet their individual requirements. The tests conducted could include the investigation of problems associated with a poor performing product or reassurance that cost-saving benefits are preserved.

Examples of product & materials testing carried out at Smithers Rapra are:

• explant assessments & failure diagnosis
• packaging integrity & shelf life assessment
• real time & accelerated ageing
• glove testing
• permeability testing
• materials conformance testing.
