| There
are numerous reasons why you should conduct material testing.
A few are listed here:
Competitive
Tool -
Through testing, you can explore ways to differentiate your product
to gain a competitive edge. The results of comparison testing
may also provide data to challenge competitor claims.
Lower
Product Costs
- As part of quality and process control, regular testing will
help ensure your manufacturing process is in control, thus avoiding
product defects and costly warranty claims. Differences in performance
can be identified when alternative products (or raw materials)
are tested side-by-side. This type of testing can help with managing
your supply chain.
Research
& Development - Testing is a vital component of materials
research and product improvement. When used properly, it can provide
useful data for ranking material attributes.
Requirement
for Doing Business - Many industries requires a product
to meet minimum acceptable standards. Testing provides the means
to show your product meets or exceeds these requirements.
 Standards
and Specifications are a necessary tool to perform testing on a
uniform and consistent basis. They represent written directions
of the criteria needed for a specific product, process, test, or
procedure. When adhered to, standards allow for test results to
be repeatable and reproducible. Thus enabling you to make useful
comparisons of test data.
