In the food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and various other industries—including even toys—ensuring product safety and regulatory compliance is a crucial step before entering the market. SIG, a trusted testing laboratory with over 20 years of experience, supports manufacturers in meeting product registration requirements in accordance with national and international standards.
Why is Laboratory Testing Important for Product Registration?
Before a product can be marketed, a series of tests must be conducted to ensure its safety, quality, and compliance with applicable regulations. These tests include content analysis, toxicology testing, microbiological analysis, chemical contamination assessment, and product stability testing. Without valid test results from an accredited laboratory, products may be rejected during the registration process by regulatory bodies, international institutions, and other supervisory agencies.
The Importance of Testing at a Standardized Laboratory
Products should ideally undergo testing in an independent laboratory to serve as an objective benchmark for product safety. Independent laboratories play a crucial role as external assessors to ensure product safety evaluation is not conducted solely by the manufacturer.
