The quality of a product depends on the quality of its raw materials and components. By using strictly controlled raw materials and components that comply with the quality and safety requirements of physical/mechanical performance and restricted substances, enterprises will gain a strong advantage in this competing market.

Based on the product category, Intertek Hardline Lab can provide comprehensive and professional testing services for raw materials and components per standards/regulations of different countries/regions.

1. Physical Performance Test: including mechanical performance, optical performance, thermal performance etc. These Tests can help determine if the materials are fit for use.
2. Material and Chemical Composition Analysis: including plastic material identification, metal composition identification, restricted substances (e.g., phthalates, heavy metal content, PFAS, RoHS) test, active ingredients analysis, extractable protein content etc. These analysis helps to determine if the materials/components comply with the design/ procurement/ regulation requirements.
3. Contaminant and Microbiological Test: including microbiological examination test, antimicrobial effectiveness test, anti-bacterial/mould resistance test of textiles/plastics, sterility test etc. These tests are to examine the anti-bacterial properties of the material and the cleanliness of the production process.
4. Environmental Reliability Test: including high/low temperature storage, damp heat cyclic test, thermal shock testing, dust and waterproof test, salt spray test, gaseous corrosion test, chemical reagent resistance test etc. These tests are designed to simulate the various harsh environments that raw materials and components may encounter in actual use and to assess their environmental tolerance.
5. Mechanical Reliability Test: including vibration test, mechanical shock test, impact test and drop test etc. These tests are to examine the materials’ performance and durability under mechanical force. 
6. Lifetime Test: evaluate the performance stability of the materials/components via accelerated aging test.
7. Safety Compliance Test: select appropriate test based on the product’s characteristics and regulatory requirements. This test is to evaluate the safety compliance of the components. 
8. Customized Testing Services: beside on the testing services per product performance and regulatory requirements, Intertek can also provide customized testing services based on client’s need, help enterprises to enhance their core competitiveness by establishing their own product safety and quality standards.
