Many companies today are designing and prototyping in North America, while manufacturing the products in Asia. Intertek, a global leader in restricted materials compliance, has created a testing solution to fit this model. Frequently, companies are faced with handling test requirements by email, with no accountability provided for report format, quality, delivery dates, and client expectations. Intertek’s testing program ensures that overseas testing is held accountable to North American project managers, never compromising cost or quality.
Clients can identify their preferred test location and benefit from the ability to manage the project in real-time, while ensuring that costs are kept to a minimum. Testing can include standard testing for the EU RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Directive or broader requirements such as REACH SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern) or Japan Green.
For larger or more complicated products, supplier data gathering or bill of materials assessment services are available from Intertek, combining quality with practicality.
