1. SURGING AHEAD WITH
QUALITY
QUALITY SOLUTIONS FOR THE TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRY

2. TESTING SERVICES
The innovation and performance
potential of products and components
depends directly on the safety and
quality of material used. The demand
placed on the latest material and their
combinations necessitate continuous
monitoring from raw material to the end
product. At SGS we carry both
performance and material testing of the
material and parts.
SGS services span total content analysis,
ageing simulation and tests of
mechanical and chemical properties to
the evaluation and interpretation of test
results. In terms of requirements for the
sample tests, you can rely on us as
preferred partners as the interface
between OEM and supplier.

TESTING
SGS RSTS SERVICES
n ELV
n SVHC
n SOC
n VOC
In the last few years, there has been
increasing interest in monitoring semi-
volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) in
ambient, workplace and indoors
environments. Chemical such as
polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHSs) and
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are
well known persistent organic pollutants
as well as being potential carcinogens.
RANGE OF TESTING PRODUCTS
n Plastic parts & raw materials
n Metals parts
n Glass and ceramic products
n Electronic & electrical parts
n Packaging materials
Thus the need to monitor their presence
and across potential and actual human
exposure.
The Restricted Substances Testing
Service (RSTS) at SGS helps
manufacturers, retailers and suppliers to
mitigate the risk of non-compliance to
global and national restricted substances
regulations. It is becoming even more
important to have effective and
sufficient testing mechanism in place to
prove and make sure that the product
meets all the necessary requirements.
SGS is a reputed third-party source to
help clients monitor their supply chains
and self-declare compliance with
confidence.
