Best Practices for Meaningful Test Results

There are 2 Best Practices to ensure test results are meaningful from the customer's perspective:

1. Products should be also tested/assessed in their end use environments:
   For example, mechanical safety tests in industries of apparels and soft toys are much better conducted again after home laundering to secure the level of product integrity. Another example is to use universal dummy loading (multifibre dummy loading), domestic detergents & actual washer/dryer used by consumers to conduct tests to ensure validity of testing.
2. Regular verification enhances the reliability of testing:
   Instruments are calibrated, reference materials are used, and then reliable test results will be sustainable. Lab reliability and quality of testing can be comprehensively maintained by using standard samples as well as Proficiency Testing Programme (by SDC Enterprises).
