Testing and certification
Retailers need to know that the products they sell do not cause dissatisfied customers, or even worse injured customers. To ensure that the products are both safe and meet the expected level of performance, testing can be done at one of Interteks many locations around the world.
Intertek's testing brings you assurance that the products you sell comply with relevant standards and live up to their manufacturers' claims. That's always important - and even more so if you are selling products under your private brand. We'll help you protect and build your brand equity. We conduct testing required and provide you with all the necessary documentation for CE marking. In addition to CE marking, many manufacturers choose to mark their products with some of our certification marks, for reasons of market access and a quality mark that shows the product has been tested by a third party.
