LABORATORY TESTING

OUR LABORATORY TESTING SERVICES

Our services are extensive

POLYTESTS Services is an independent lab that provides a variety of engineering and certification testing in partnership with several certification bodies.

Peace of mind

Some products may require an extensive testing program. From experience, we know that it can be difficult to find a laboratory that can manage an entire battery of tests.

A lack of communication between the client and the laboratory can lead to delays and costly rework, even if both parties are well-intentioned.

Avoid unpleasant surprises. The POLYTESTS Services laboratory is equipped to conduct preliminary testing at low cost to prepare a product for the certification process.

In addition, POLYTESTS Services can take over a project that stalls or goes off the rails, and ensures that the final reports are delivered on time and on budget.

Testing according to standards

If you have a product or material to test to a specific standard, we have the capacity to assist you with a wide range of product types.

In addition, we can custom-design a lower-cost partial evaluation program that will enable you to verify the critical points of a standard testing program in order to evaluate whether or not your product meets minimum requirements.

If your request is outside our area of expertise, we would be pleased to suggest an alternative to help you meet your needs.

Comparative testing

For more than 25 years, our key personnel have been conducting comparative testing – the ideal solution for obtaining essential information to get you to the top of your market.

We have refined our expertise by developing protocols and running benchmarking programs on a wide variety of products. We can guide you through these evaluations to ensure that you reap the full benefits. If you are a product manufacturer, comparative testing can identify the strengths and weaknesses of your product compared to others. This allows you to adequately target actions that better position your product line.
