Product testing for the
industrial sector
Compliance testing for products
Enginext conducts product testing and inspection for the industrial sector. This is an essential service for all companies that need to certify the safety and compliance of their products before entering the market, ensuring adherence to current regulations.
We can perform all types of tests for products across various application fields, including industrial, food, medical, chemical, and cosmetic sectors. We provide a precise, reliable, and timely service, conducting tests on-site or in laboratories, to obtain the necessary certifications for product distribution.
We oversee the entire process, handling design and development consulting, risk analysis, and product testing activities. For specific types of analysis, we also collaborate with specialized partner laboratories. If a product is intended for the European Union market (and therefore must comply with specific CE Regulations and Directives), we can also manage the technical dossier preparation required for CE Certification.
During the product testing phase, we specifically handle:
- Technical and regulatory consulting during the design phase;
- Risk analysis of the product and drafting of the document to be included in the technical dossier;
- Execution of tests to verify that the product meets all safety requirements established by the Directives;
- rPreparation of the technical dossier and product certification, ensuring global market access while complying with applicable safety regulations.
What is it?
Product testing ensures that goods introduced into the target market are safe, fit for commercialization, and compliant with all national, European, and international regulatory standards.
Safety and compliance checks cover a wide range of aspects, such as usability, electrical safety, or chemical safety, and they vary based on the type of product and the destination country. Additionally, in some cases, the process requires the involvement of specialized entities, such as Notified Bodies for the certification of hazardous products.
Verification activities are crucial to prevent costly recalls and provide customers with solid guarantees regarding the product’s characteristics. Moreover, passing the required tests confirms compliance with safety standards and other specific regulatory requirements for each market.

Frequently asked questions
Do you carry out all verifications and tests independently?
Tests vary in complexity, and some require specialized equipment. Whenever possible, we handle verifications internally; in other cases, we collaborate with long-standing partner facilities, overseeing and managing the entire process.
Is there a regulatory authority for obtaining compliance certification?
In the industrial sector, no specific authorities issue compliance certifications. The manufacturer is responsible for preparing the document, declaring that the product is safe. The certification is issued after engaging a qualified company that conducts tests and trials to confirm that the product meets all necessary requirements and can be introduced to the target market.
I need a safety certification for a toy. Can I rely on you?
Absolutely! We operate across various sectors and can perform specific tests to evaluate whether toys meet safety requirements for market introduction. We also offer testing for medical devices, electrical and electronic products, IT equipment, entertainment goods, and more.
Do you issue a specific certification after testing?
Once all tests are successfully completed, we prepare a technical dossier that includes a complete record of the verifications performed and the results obtained.
What happens if a product fails a test?
Tests can be repeated until compliance is achieved. To prevent failures, we generally conduct a preliminary risk analysis, helping manufacturers address potential non-conformities before proceeding with testing.
