Product testing

[JCKST1]

I have a new product coming to market soon and although it has been tested by the manufacturer I would like to have it tested our self in the UK, somewhere we can go and get reports, take photos of the process and so on. We can then load these to our site to show potential customers our QC plan.

I am thinking of things such as impact testing etc, the product is a carbon fibre cycle component so this should be work quite well.

Does any one know of companies offering this, I have tried googling it but it's coming back with all sorts.

Thanks

These guys are based around the corner from me - I'm sure they could do something.

Thanks. I have just sent an email to both companies.

Does it need to be tested to an official standard? Not all test centres will offer that...
We have used SATRA in the past who were fantastic and developed tests specifically for our products as well as testing against UK and EU standards

[JCKST1]

No it doesnt have to be a standard, its basically so we can show potential customers that we have actually tested our products and not just imported and sold them with no re-search, we would also like to test a couple against the same product in aluminium version, again so the customer can that our carbon products are stronger than aluminium and worth the bit extra..

Cheers

How's about the people that might actually use it?
