Laboratory testing
Validation and verification tests to ensure the technical and regulatory compliance of manufactured goods.
Testing on manufactured goods represents an essential phase in the certification processes for products intended for the market. Through testing activities carried out by an accredited laboratory, companies can demonstrate the safety, regulatory compliance, and actual performance of their products, obtaining results recognized both nationally and internationally. This approach reduces the risk of non-compliance and supports the free circulation of goods in the main European markets.
Accreditation according to the UNI CEI EN ISO/IEC 17025 standard constitutes a formal guarantee of the laboratory's technical competence. This recognition attests that personnel, methods, instruments, and procedures are subject to periodic checks, that the results produced are reliable, and that tests are carried out with impartiality, according to the requirements defined by ACCREDIA. This is a decisive element for obtaining objective and usable data in certification processes.
Entrusting testing to an accredited laboratory allows companies to prevent technical disputes, market withdrawals, or non-compliance during inspections. The results obtained from tests support certifications, approvals, quality controls, and verifications required by regulations and specifications. Furthermore, the technical evidence produced can guide design or production improvement interventions, offering a clear picture of the manufactured good's actual performance.
Testing activities provide concrete support in product qualification pathways, enabling manufacturers to present verifiable and recognized documentation. Among the main advantages are the ability to attest compliance with applicable requirements, improve reliability along the supply chain, and have certifiable technical data that facilitate relations with supervisory bodies and organizations to support product qualification, approval, and quality control activities.

FAQ
Can testing activities contribute to product improvement?
Yes. In addition to checking regulatory compliance, laboratory tests allow for the evaluation of the product's actual performance and the identification of any design or production criticalities. The evidence emerging from testing activities can guide improvement interventions, supporting companies in product development and optimization paths.
How do laboratory tests support certification and quality control processes?
Tests provide objective technical evidence that forms the documentary basis for product certifications, approvals, and conformity assessments. The results can also be used for internal quality control, to respond to requests from regulatory bodies, and to prevent non-conformities or disputes during audits or surveillance.
What is the value of results obtained from a UNI CEI EN ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory?
The results produced by a laboratory accredited according to the standard "UNI CEI EN ISO/IEC 17025" are recognized for their reliability, traceability, and impartiality. Accreditation ensures that tests are performed according to validated and controlled methods, making the technical data usable in certification, homologation, and verification processes by authorities and bodies.
Are laboratory tests mandatory for all products intended for the market?
Laboratory tests are not always mandatory for every product, but they become necessary when required by specific regulations, European directives, technical specifications, or certification schemes. In many cases, they also represent an essential tool for objectively demonstrating the conformity and safety of the product before it is placed on the market.
