    Developing Testing for Face Masks

    Developing Testing for Face Masks

    At the beginning of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic increased the global demand for face masks. We knew consumers would be expecting these products to slow the spread of the virus, so they needed to fulfil the technical requirements as per international standards such as ASTM 2100 and EN 14683. 

    Some of our Singaporean colleagues at TÜV SÜD PSB Pte Ltd, Chemical Centre, gathered the technical experts of our microbiology laboratory, industrial chemical laboratory, elemental laboratory and physical laboratory to develop face mask testing capabilities. 

    After just approximately two and a half months, we had a lab fully equipped to test medical face masks as per international standards – with the necessary instruments and our own, customised testing apparatus and accessories. 

    We assisted manufacturers, distributors and purchasers in verifying the performance of face masks, increasing confidence in the product’s functionality. Over 400 types of masks were tested by us in 2020 for local and global supply.

    Getting Your Skates on: Comparing the Safety of Children’s Roller Skates

    The testing of sport equipment such as bicycles, e-scooters and roller skates belongs to the standard repertoire of our experienced PS Hardline team in Shanghai. While these devices are very popular – especially amongst children – the product quality between brands varies considerably. If respective safety requirements aren’t met, the usage of these products can be a source of severe injuries. Recognizing our company’s longstanding expertise in this field, the Shanghai Consumer Protection Committee asked TÜV SÜD to launch a comprehensive comparative test that informs parents about the characteristics to be considered, specifically when purchasing kids’ roller skates. 

    Using mystery shopping, our experts purchased samples and assessed them according to all relevant regulations. After analysing and comparing the results, the Shanghai Consumer Protection Committee made an official announcement, reassuring consumers as to which brands were safest for their children. Due to the informative and customer-centric approach of the test, the results received widespread attention from consumers and were finally broadcasted on a national level by China’s state TV channel, CCTV.
