Accredited Test Lab

If you’re an importer who’s new in the business, there are a number of things you need to know.
For instance, your country or target market requires that the products you’re importing need to be certified for quality and international standards based on the AQL table. The authorities will require a test report from an accredited test lab for that.
So, should you directly book the lab test with the accreditation test lab or can your supplier in the goods origin country do this for you?
There are some considerations to make here. But a rule of thumb, my advice is that you should never let your product manufacturer or supplier book the lab test on your behalf.

This is why don't let your manufacturer book lab test for you:

There are some considerations to make here. But a rule of thumb, my advice is that you should never let your product manufacturer or supplier book the lab test on your behalf.
1) If a supplier books the necessary lab test for you, they won’t have your best interests in mind. For instance, what if they choose a non-accredited testing firm? That will definitely mean a useless test report that can’t be accepted by the authorities in your target market or any other for that matter!
2) An unscrupulous supplier — more so a manufacturer that makes sub-standard products — may also go ahead and forge the test reports for you. Another useless piece of paper!
Some even bribe testing companies to get favorable results because they know their sub-standard goods can’t pass the tests if a competent firm does the certification.
3) Another supplier, though genuinely wanting to help to book the lab test for you, may be unaware of all the regulations that apply in your target market country. Such a supplier may end up ordering a lab test that doesn’t correspond to requirements such as chemical levels and other safety standards in your target importation market.

Bonus Tip

Whether you fall into the hands of an unscrupulous supplier who doesn’t care about your interests or attempt to book for the necessary lab tests for the products you’re importing through a manufacturer or supplier who doesn’t fully understand what your country’s regulations require, you’ll still pay for the process.
Besides, if your supplier is the one book the certification tests for you, the level of transparency will be typically diminished, exposing you to the risks and costs we’ve highlighted above.
That’s why we strongly recommend that you consider hiring a professional 3rd-party inspection company like AQI Service to perform for you the certification tests. We’ll conduct all tests from the production stage to pre-shipment inspection and all the sample quality inspections needed.
