Trading Standards Testing

The Trading Standards officers of all County Councils have a very wide range of products and services to check on.

If they are ever suspicious of the quality of goods or services, they often need expert evidence before they can proceed.

BITS have close working relationships with many County Council Trading Standards and Environmental Services Departments due to our extensive experience and accumulated knowledge.

The Trading Standards Testing we perform include Safety Appraisal of products, defect investigations, pallet load testing, and product conformity to relevant British Standards. As a UKAS accredited laboratory B.I.T.S. is the first choice for all your trading-standards evaluation testing.

Working in conjunction with a number of County Councils across the country we are perfectly placed to advise, support and work on your behalf, fully backed up by our extensive knowledge of the required methods and practices local councils must adopt.

Some of the typical products that we evaluate include:

· Scaffolding

· Equipment from Hire Shops

· Kettles

· Halogen Lamps

· Waterproofing solutions

· Bath and Shower Trays

· Glass

· Furniture

· General Consumer Products

Nothing is potentially more serious, disruptive or fatal than a building failure arising from defects, breakages or leakages.
