QCLINKING / TTS

THE SERVICE IN PRACTICE

Start with the question, then the method.

Product, material and destination determine the testing brief. TTS helps define what must be measured, which samples represent the question and what evidence the buyer needs.

Identify the material

For chemical questions, agree the substances, material variants and methods. RoHS, REACH and a buyer’s own specification can call for different scopes.

Choose the right level of evidence

A quick fabric check on site can flag a concern. A laboratory performance test uses an agreed method and conditions; confirm which evidence your buyer requires.

REQUIREMENTS & EVIDENCE

Which requirements shape your brief?

Explore the standard’s scope, the records needed and the questions to resolve before booking.

RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU & (EU) 2015/863

Test the material that carries the substance risk.

Where this applies

The EU framework for restricted substances in covered electrical and electronic equipment. Product scope and exemptions are reviewed before testing.

Requirements & examples
REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 / Annex XVII

Candidate List screening and restriction testing answer different questions.

Where this applies

Restriction entries include conditions for particular substances, mixtures, articles or uses. Select applicable entries in the testing brief.

Requirements & examples
CPSIA / 16 CFR 1250 / ASTM F963

Start with age, use and construction—not a generic toy test package.

Where this applies

For toys, identify the applicable requirements of the CPSC-accepted toy-safety standard rather than applying every clause to every product.

Planning & questions

Review the detailed service scope

Start with the product and its intended use. TTS can discuss the relevant testing requirements, sample information and route before you commit to a testing programme.

  • Product type, materials and intended users
  • Target sales market and customer requirements
  • Requested methods and sample requirements
  • Deliverables, scope and quotation
Which tests do I need?

The scope depends on the product, intended use and sales market. Send the product details and any buyer requirements so that the scope can be assessed.

How many samples should I send?

Sample requirements depend on the agreed methods. Confirm the testing plan with TTS before sending samples.

Can one report cover every market?

Requirements vary by product and destination. The scope and suitability of existing reports need to be checked for the intended market.
