Homewares testing
Ensuring quality and safety for homewares
Fit-for-purpose testing
Late-stage failures in ceramic, glass, or metal items often derail launch timelines. We tailor testing plans to your product type so issues are caught early.
Simplify compliance
Regulations for food contact, coatings, and mixed materials vary by market. We help you navigate overlapping rules across product categories, ensuring your kitchenware, candles, and tableware meet all regional requirements.
Avoid retail rejections
We identify safety and labelling risks before shipment, reducing non-compliance and protecting retailer relationships.
