At APC we offer a variety of
common sense testing programs. We believe in real-time, real-condition
style testing. All you need to do is tell us what you are expecting from
your product and we will design and implement a specific test to
determine whether or not it does. If it passes our tests we will certify
your product as an independent testing service and certifier.
Our fees are based entirely
on the project and must be determined on a case-by-case basis. For
budgetary purposes we have found that, on average, our program costs are
in the $500 to $3,000(US) range.
As an example of our
real-condition testing concept, one of the testing programs we recently
performed include a drop test for a sport safety helmet manufacturer in
which a steel ball of a given weight was dropped through a guide tube
from a distance of 25 feet onto the top of a specimen helmet. The
testing criteria were discussed with the client and full design and test
exercises were witnessed by the client with his approval. The test was
repeated a specified number of times and a final report was issued
stating the actual results.
Although we do perform many
of the standard industry tests you may already be familiar with, we
specialize in creating more meaningful tests that determine how a
product will perform in normal everyday use and in somewhat abusive
conditions. This helps make sure that your product not only meets
standard testing requirements but show that you have gone beyond the
basic testing needs and investigated effects of everyday life on your
product.
