In the development of any of today’s products, regulatory standards are there to address and confirm products’ proper and safe creation and use. Backed by regional, national, and international governments and agencies, these regulations must be sought out and adhered to in order to achieve a space in the marketplace. As a leading Total Quality Assurance provider, Intertek’s innovative assurance, testing, inspection and certification solutions are delivered with precision by experts experienced with and accustomed to these regulatory processes and stipulations, enabling customers to power ahead safely.

Regulations for products extend from safety obligations and materials’ requirements to performance properties and usage and maintenance parameters. Testing can be necessary throughout the entire life cycle of a product, from the ideation and design stage through process development and manufacturing, including shipment and storage, and on to customer acquisition and handling. Those involved in the development and sale of a product—whether that product is an industrial element or an app targeted for new technology, or anything in between—must be prepared to meet all the regulatory conditions and requisites in a variety of markets, countries, and global regions.

This compliance is constantly shifting and evolving as new research, new technology, new markets, new legislators, and new market drivers emerge. Keyworld offers regulatory compliance solutions related to new product introductions, as well as validation of compliance for existing products, with local and global regulations, and it is our job to stay at pace with and even to anticipate these changes. Our regulatory compliance services are based on the Keyworld team’s extensive global regulatory knowledge and years of experience testing to and even sometimes helping to shape regulatory standards. Through globally located offices and an established network with local and regional trade associations and government authorities, Keyworld is well positioned to respond to client needs.

Non-destructive testing is exactly as the name implies – testing that is performed without destroying or impacting the integrity of the items tested. A diverse range of industries use NDT to detect defects and irregularities and assess safety in equipment and assets, and the growing need to utilise NDT is a result of companies looking to extend the life of equipment, plant facilities and other assets in addition to adhering to increased regulation.

NDT helps to protect the investment made in plant infrastructure by providing the valuable data needed to detect, monitor and improve processes and assets.
