Test it here, so it clears there.
Material, safety, EMC and food-contact testing, plus inspection before the container is sealed. Reports come from accredited labs with report numbers your customs officer can look up.
Five families
Material & composition
Alloy grade, polymer identification, REACH SVHC screening, coating thickness.
Safety & EMC
CE route, LVD and EMC, RoHS, plus IP rating checks on enclosures.
Food contact
LFGB and FDA migration, EN 14350 for infant articles, per-batch where the buyer requires it.
Packaging & transport
Drop, compression and vibration tests, FSC chain-of-custody documentation.
Performance & life
Cycle testing, salt spray, photometric files, battery cycling and UN38.3.
Four gates
Pre-production
Raw materials and components confirmed before the line starts.
During production
First articles measured against drawings while there is still time to correct.
Pre-shipment
AQL sampling on finished goods, packing and labelling checked against the order.
Loading supervision
Container condition, quantity and sealing witnessed and photographed.
Three artefacts
Accredited report
From a lab whose accreditation covers the standard — with the report number on the page.
Photo record
Samples, setup and failure modes photographed, so a written result has something behind it.
Plain conclusion
Pass, fail, or conditional — and what exactly would move a conditional to pass.
How much is enough
Standard AQL sampling by default; tighter plans when the buyer's market or the failure cost justifies it. We say which plan was used on every report.
