Many electrical and electronic devices are used in houses and workplaces. Many machines and equipments are used with or without motor. A wide range of textile products are used for both clothing and upholstery or accessories purposes. A wide variety of foods are consumed in daily life. Again water is used for drinking or cleaning purposes. All these considerations have various risks depending on the situation in terms of health and safety of both the consumers and the employees in the establishments producing them.
Testing services carried out by testing and inspection bodies are of great importance in this respect. Engineers working in these organizations, high technicians, technicians, or short-time experts who have gained experience and training in their respective fields, from inspection and supervision to measurement, testing, analysis and evaluation, and even some of them to quality inspection and certification and tries to be successful in global markets.
With the test services performed, independent and impartial services are given to the employees with their subjects and product reliability of the enterprises as well as the merchantability of the products are provided.
For example, with the physical tests for textile products, the durability of the fabrics depending on the yarn and weaving quality is tested by using the latest technology and devices according to the standard conditions determined by the domestic and foreign organizations. The main tests, tear strengtḣ, tensile strengtḣ, Return flexibility, di̇ki̇ş shiftı strengtḣ, Wear resistancė, pilling and accessory tests. In addition to physical tests, flammability tests, fastness tests, shrinkage tests, chemical tests, ecological tests, microbiology tests and some specific tests are also carried out.
On the other hand, the Directive on Restrictions on Hazardous Materials published in the European Union (RoHS) obliges companies that produce electrical and electronic equipment to be subject to certain restrictions on the type and amount of chemicals they use in their products. With the tests and measurements carried out within the scope of electrical safety tests, some chemical substances which are dangerous for human health and environmental conditions and which are prohibited to be used in electrical and electronic devices or are allowed to be used are determined. The Regulation on the Restriction of the Use of Some Harmful Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment was taken as a basis in our country (EEE regulation for short).
Food tests are carried out not only to determine the content and quality of food products but also to ensure food safety. These tests are important for both food producing enterprises to prove themselves and for consumers to reach more reliable food products. The tests and analyzes performed are carried out according to the current legal regulations, national and international standards as well as the criteria required by the producers and consumers.
In this context, the main services provided by the test and inspection bodies are:
- Physical and chemical tests to determine nutritional values of foods, various contaminants, pesticides, antibiotics and similar components
- Microbiological and biogenetic tests to detect indicators and pathogenic microorganisms or genetically modified products
- Sensory tests to compare and compare food products with similar products on the market
- Packaging tests to assess the quality of packaging and food contact products
The food tests carried out can be carried out at any stage of the various processes, from the time of delivery of food products to producers.
Like many testing and inspection bodies, our organization provides a range of measurement, testing, analysis, inspection and inspection services within the scope of testing services. These services can be categorized under the following headings:
- Electrical safety tests
- Media analysis
- Textile analysis
- Food analysis
- Water analysis
