At The CTC Group, we make it our business to provide clients with technical support above and beyond testing. The advent of the CPSIA provides a striking example of how complicated and expensive it has become to put a product into the consumer's hands. Ten years ago, the toy industry was primarily concerned with mechanical hazards (sharp points, sharp edges, small parts), eight heavy metals, the phthalate DEHP, and other product-specific compliance requirements. With growing media attention on consumer advocacy groups, now more than ever, companies are forced to be extremely cautious when it comes to product development.
Providing technical support from concept through final production ensures ongoing monitoring of a product's conformance to client, state and federal requirements. Industry associations, regulatory agencies and industry leaders are emphasizing the importance of working with ISO 17025 accredited and CPSC approved third party testing laboratories throughout the production supply process. There are many services CTC can provide to supplement your own in-house quality assurance efforts. The CTC Group assists clients in answering questions relative to product safety by offering a wide range of consulting services including, but not limited to:
We are a laboratory partner who will listen to you. We will work with you to resolve your safety and quality concerns, whether limited to a particular product or involving the creation or implementation of an entire quality program.
