What is Laboratory Testing?

CGF Inspection partners with ISO 17025 accredited laboratories in China and Hong Kong to arrange the product tests your target market requires. We handle sample pick-up, submission, follow-up, and the final report delivery to you — so you don’t need to deal with labs directly.

Key Benefits of Laboratory Testing

When Should You Consider a Laboratory Testing?

• Your product must meet CE, FCC, UKCA, RCM, RoHS, REACH, CPSIA, Prop 65, FDA or similar compliance.
• You need fabric composition, colour fastness, formaldehyde or other material tests.
• Food-contact materials need EU 1935/2004, LFGB or FDA migration tests.
• Battery or electronics products need UN 38.3, IEC 62133 or EMC tests.
