Access international opportunitiesFast, cost-effective market entry for hardware, utensils, office equipment and other hardlines products.

TÜV SÜD

The globalised product manufacturing environment is undergoing rapid change. Production with lower technical requirements is relocating to countries where the cost of manufacturing is more economical, while traditional manufacturing regions need to focus on upgrading their products with new technologies. To avoid the risk of product recalls, retailers are placing pressure on manufacturers to test for compliance with the many changing regulations. Manufacturers require a deeper understanding of the requirements for global market access in order to enter new markets. As product lifecycles are compressed, there is also a need to reduce testing turnaround times and keep costs low.

TÜV SÜD is accredited to perform product testing in compliance with national and international standards and requirements. Our technical competencies include furniture, hardware, sports equipment, garden tools, office equipment, jewellery, bicycles and car accessories. This makes us well suited to provide safety approval and testing services in line with regulatory requirements in your target markets. We can deliver our testing and inspection services globally with quick turnaround times and personalised service. Our quality control programmes can be customised for the specific testing needs of clients.

Technical expertise and knowledge of regulatory requirements are critical for testing your products to the precise specifications of key markets.

Prepare for evolving market requirements The regulations covering hardlines products such as hardware, utensils and office equipment are growing increasingly complex. With rising awareness of issues pertaining to quality and safety, consumers in key markets expect safe and reliable products. To meet this demand, retailers, importers and manufacturers need to ensure that products sourced worldwide receive expert independent testing. TÜV SÜD has the technical knowledge and capability to perform testing and assessment in line with the rapidly evolving requirements for international market access.
