product consulting & engineering
Although PTI has built its reputation around being a complete regulatory, reliability and product safety test lab, we also have a comprehensive, practical solution for your consulting and engineering needs. By developing a Pre-Test, Test & Evaluation and Post-Test strategy for your product, we can help you take your concept to the next level.
Pre-Test Strategy
Being a part of this phase allows us to develop a checklist for your testing needs. Once we determine the area of testing (EMC, Reliability, Product Safety), we can create a certification strategy that includes design reviews, test approach procedures and an outline of compliance standards for your target market. After the strategy has been decided, the test plan can begin.
Testing & Evaluation
This is your opportunity to see your product(s) in action. As a full service test laboratory, we can provide more than just a "pass or fail" status. Through testing and observation of your equipment and configurations, our on-site engineers and technicians can provide an analysis of any malfunctions that might take place at any given stage of the test cycle. The efficiency of this phase step will save both time and money when you are trying to get your product ready to go to market.
Post-Test Strategy
Our professional testing services do not end once you leave our test lab. We are available for any questions, concerns or troubleshooting ideas you may have for the technician(s) you worked with or any manager that we have of staff. Once all of your tests are complete and your equipment is returned to you, you will receive a detailed test completion report including equipment photos, graphs and charts within 7-10 days of your final test.
If needed, below are just a few ways we can also assist you in this section:
- User manual reviews and changes
- Label updates
- Part availability changes, die shrinks
- Screening and Inspection
- Agency submittals (for Product Safety)
- Result presentations
On-Site & In-House Training Sessions
We offer sessions to train your staff in the areas of regulatory and reliability issues that effect purchasing, engineering and manufacturing. The sessions are customized by members of our technical team once we assess your EMC, Reliability and Product Safety needs.
