From headlights to mufflers, chassis to interiors and everything in between, Intertek offers the professional automotive testing and certification services manufacturers and OEMs need to set their products apart

Automotive products today need to be safe and strong. Is your chassis built to defend against salt spray erosion? How does your engine respond at high altitudes? Will your vehicle or component withstand years of vibration?

Intertek can help substantiate the durability of the engine or shocks, for example, or collaborate on a build of specific test methods for key areas of product development. Expedite environmental exposure testing for everything from -45°C to 177°C, optimize thermal shock or tensile strength testing, targeted electrical testing, and much more. Automotive testing supports materials testing, performance testing, research and development, safety, and certification for both established and developmental alternative energy fuels and new technologies.

But Intertek offers much more than automotive testing and certification; we are a Total Quality Assurance provider. Through our global network of state-of-the-art automotive testing labs and industry-leading technical expertise we provide innovative and bespoke Assurance, Testing, Inspection and Certification services throughout the operations and distribution chains delivered consistently with precision, pace and passion, enabling our customers to power ahead safely.
