Mechanical safety testing is a specific type of safety evaluation that involves the assessment of the mechanical aspects of a product, and the conditions under which a mechanical failure could pose a potential safety risk to users.
Mechanical safety risks are as diverse as the number and types of mechanical products available, making the task of identifying and evaluating such risks a complex process for manufacturers, importers and retailers.
Mechanical safety testing is required for many categories of products sold or imported into the European Union (EU), the US and other major markets. Mechanical failures can result in user injuries and even death, potentially exposing manufacturers, importers and retailers to costly legal action and the loss of brand reputation.
A mechanical safety test, therefore, provides access to global markets, protects users, and preserve a manufacturer’s reputation in a competitive market.
