Poor-quality houseware items can pose health and safety hazards as they come in direct contact with us. Manufacturers and retailers operating in the houseware sector need to minimize safety risks and other challenges to meet customer needs. Homeware inspection, therefore, cannot be overlooked, especially when you want to ensure the timely delivery of compliant finished goods.
We provide homeware inspection services for all types of household items. We cater to various product categories such as kitchenware, cookware, personal care, as well as metallic and wooden items, and more.
Quality control of homeware requires considerable hands-on expertise and a keen focus on detail. We customize our standard homeware inspection checklists to include your main concerns and specific requirements for each product. However, some tests on homewares require a controlled environment to certify their compliance with related standards and regulations. We select products from each lot and forward them to an accredited laboratory for testing.

- Adhesive test on logo and label
- Impact test on lid
- Capacity check
- Water leaking test
- Temperature accuracy test
- Heat resistance test

- ASTM D3559-02
- Accessories check
- Packing
- Export carton drop test
