Keyworld’s continued work in regulatory compliance brings you the services you need to meet relevant regulatory standards.

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, Keyworld’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.

From headlights to mufflers, chassis to interiors and everything in between, Intertek offers the professional automotive testing and certification services manufacturers and OEMs need to set their products apart.

Automotive products today need to be safe and strong. Is your chassis built to defend against salt spray erosion? How does your engine respond in high altitude? Will your vehicle or component withstand years of vibration?

Keyworld can help substantiate the durability of the engine or shocks, for example, or collaborate on a build of specific test methods for key areas of product development. Expedite environmental exposure testing for everything from -45°C to 177°C, optimize thermal shock or tensile strength testing, targeted electrical testing, and much more. Automotive testing supports materials testing, performance testing, research and development, safety, and certification for both established and developmental alternative energy fuels and new technologies.
