Fitness for use 

Including suitability for the intended use, functionality check against Instruction Manual and reliability, ergonomics; handling and maneuverability, User-friendly functionalities and failure analysis.

Product failure analysis

We perform failure analysis on electrical and electronic consumer products for manufacturers, brand owners and retailers to determine the cause of market-place failures and returns.

Endurance and accelerated life testing 

We can test your products to pre-defined cycles of use, load tests (electrical, mechanical etc.); simulating and, where applicable, accelerating the product’s lifetime in normal conditions of use.

Energy efficiency 

Energy efficiency testing according to regulations and/or schemes on Energy Related Products (ErP).

In addition to regulatory compliance testing and certification, it is important for brand owners and retailers to ensure that products perform as designed and are fit-for use.

Some requirements are forced by regional, national and international regulations. Others are voluntary schemes which are governments, retailer or end-user led.

Our global locations and breadth of testing services allows us to offer bespoke solutions through a single point of contact for your electrical and electronics products; ranging from electrical safety through to food contact, VOC emissions testing and fit-for-use testing.

Global Network and Local Expertise

Benefit from our worldwide network of accredited laboratories and local experts who understand specific country requirements, ensuring seamless support across different regions and time zones.

Optimised Testing and Efficiency 

Our participation in global schemes like the IECEE CB Scheme allows for the potential acceptance of testing across multiple countries, reducing the need for expensive retesting and accelerating your product launch.

Comprehensive, Single-Source Service

We offer an integrated approach covering all aspects of global compliance, from initial review and gap analysis to testing, certification, and ongoing support, acting as your single point of contact.

Reduced Business Risk

Our independent, accredited services and deep understanding of international standards help you navigate regulatory complexities, minimise compliance risks, and ensure your products meet all necessary safety and performance requirements.

Improving Product Quality Through Failure Analysis & Benchmarking

By benchmarking products against those of competitors and understanding the reasons for market-place failures, manufacturers, brand owners and retailers can influence improvements in product quality to gain and maintain competitive advantage.

Electrical & Electronic product failure analysis

Eurofins E&E compliance and engineering teams perform failure analysis on electrical and electronic consumer products for manufacturers, brand owners and retailers to determine the cause of market-place failures and returns.

The resulting reports can be used:

• To influence the supply chain to drive improvements in product quality; whether it be at component level, or manufacturing quality control and assurance
• As part of claim substantiation

Electrical & electronic product performance benchmarking

Our teams of experts offer electrical & electronic consumer product performance benchmarking services enabling you to:

• Check the performance of a product against industry standards
• Compare performance with a competitive product
• Ensure the product meets pre-determined custom requirements
