We are the safety, quality and performance engineering testing and consulting company you want working with your team to determine product compliance needs before they become issues. Established in 1988, we assist manufacturers, product developers and designers in obtaining worldwide product approvals and certification.

 

The start comes whenever you have the idea. Once you begin acting on that idea we hope you will come to us as early as possible. If you have identified your concept, and made a few preliminary drawings, that’s the best time to consult us. At that point we can review your drawings, identify the appropriate standards, then advise you about the best materials, and any necessary modifications you might need. We will also tell you what tests will be done on your product so you can finalize your design. We operate on the “measure twice, cut once” principle. This will enable you to build compliance directly into your design. 

So the steps in the development process go like this: 

  1. Concept
  2. Drawings
  3. Materials
  4. Test plan

Safety Beyond Standards – SBS™ is our philosophy – it’s how we think and how we help you design your products. We recognize that product safety standards too often represent the minimum requirements. We help you take safety to the next levels – working with PSC you raise the bar so your product not only meets, but exceeds, the standards. We offer a wide range of services including hazard-based engineering assessments, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Accelerated Life Testing.
