Household goods’ safety and standard compliance tests are indeed mandatory, but can fail to address the critical issue of performance and perceived quality. Over the years, API has developed extensive expertise in the design of specific testing to appropriately assess household product performance and fitness for use. The household product categories for which we can perform this type of testing are:
This list of categories is not exhaustive, and testing of other products is also possible. Please contact our sales department to discuss more specific requirements.
It goes without saying that a product that delivers the best end user service for its category will always enjoy the most market success. Assessing product performance on a realistic and professional basis is a role that API can play in your overall quality control approach.
In our various labs, located near your production line, we can review product performance based on your internal criteria:

A customized protocol will be developed in conjunction with your Quality Assurance department and our teams of electrical or mechanical engineers. Please ask our team for more details.

Hardness And Corrosion Testing
Because metal hardness and corrosion are both critical factors for the overall quality and performance of many of many tools, API can help you check these parameters against your production guidelines and/or against the products of competitors under the same conditions.
Comparative Testing
Here is an example of comparative testing between a brand A saw ( the yellow one) and a brand B saw (the blue one).API has provided the customer the opportunity to compare the following check points:
The performances of the two saws were tested. The brand A saw outperformed the brand B saw and brand A sawing efficiency was far better. This approach made it possible for API to help its customer understand the main reason for the performance gap.
