Why performing Product Testing in India
You are buying or manufacturing product in India and are about to import and distribute them in your market. As an importer, being the one incoming product in your country via an import procedure, you are the one legally responsible for any damage your product may cause to a final user.
Each market got its own international standard certification requirement for each type of product. Having your manufactured product being certified allows you to reduce your responsibility against potential damages and liabilities to your final customer because it allows you to demonstrate you made the maximum you could do to protect your customer. In most countries a product certification functions like an insurance. In some countries, customs check for certification documentation during import procedure. Lacking product certification may block your goods at market entry port.
To pass those certifications your product must comply with norms and standard. It means its features, characteristics, settings, designs or materials must match certain requirements. Those standards dictate thresholds that a feature, a characteristic or a material must not reach.
A lab can verify your product comply with a particular standard requirement by analyzing your product and by testing it against the standard requirement to make sure that material, feature, characteristic fit into acceptable threshold.
