Testing

When you bring something new onto the market, you want to eliminate quality and safety risks. After all, your potential customers or clients need to be able to trust your product, component, (raw) material or its application. In other words, they'll have to be confident that it reliably performs the way it is supposed to, compliant with local and international rules and regulations. Kiwa's independent, fully equipped and highly qualified testing labs and services bring that trust.
