Personal Service            Your project is scheduled the moment we receive your order,                                        and for those one-off specials or urgent deliveries, our test                                        arrangements are adapted to fit in with your production                                        timescales. A design checking 'pre-test' service is also offered to                                        reduce the risk of failure.


No Hidden Costs             Fixed price quotations with no cost penalties for delayed or                                        cancelled projects.


Rapid Solutions              All our test engineers are from design and manufacturing                                        backgrounds and are experienced in identifying, locating and                                        solving technical problems. To ensure that testing can be                                        resumed as quickly as possible in the event of a problem, we                                        maintain a large stock of filters, shielding materials and                                        electronic components which can be applied at a moments                                        notice - what we don't have can usually be obtained the next                                        day. Our mechanical engineering workshop can prototype                                        special parts and provide machining operations on an as                                        required basis.


Customer Care                Prior to performing compliance tests, the test engineer assigned                                         to your project undertakes a visual examination of your product                                         noting anything which might prevent the affixation of the CE                                         Mark. If in our opinion there is a risk of it failing some of the                                         tests, we will telephone you and discuss a suitable course of                                         action. If after all tests have been completed the sample is                                         found not to pass, we will give you tips on what we think will                                         solve the problem. If appropriate, you may request our design                                         consultancy team to investigate the problem in more detail and                                         report back with detailed proposals for corrective action.                                         Subsequently, it may be possible to implement modifications on                                         your behalf and continue testing your product on the basis that                                         you intend to incorporate the necessary modifications in                                         production and re-submit a sample of the product for our final                                         inspection.
