Testing Scope

Test Types by Product

Different products require different tests. Here are the key test categories we arrange through third-party laboratories.

✅

Material Safety

Chemical composition analysis, heavy metals screening (lead, cadmium, mercury), phthalates testing, and restricted substance verification.

💪

Mechanical Strength

Tensile strength, pull tests on seams and attachments, impact resistance, and structural integrity testing under stress.

🔥

Flammability

Burn rate testing, flame spread assessment, and fire safety compliance for textiles, plush toys, and bedding products.

⚠

Heavy Metals

Lead content, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic testing per US (CPSC) and EU (REACH, EN 71) limits.

🧪

Phthalates

DEHP, DBP, BBP, DINP, DIDP, and DnOP testing per CPSIA (US) and REACH (EU) requirements.

👀

Physical & Durability

Wear testing, color fastness, abrasion resistance, washability, and long-term performance assessment.

By Destination

Market-Specific Requirements

Each market has its own compliance framework. We ensure products meet the requirements of your destination before shipment.

Market	Key Standards	Typical Requirements
United States	ASTM F963, CPSC, CPSIA, Prop 65	Toy safety standards, lead and phthalate limits, small parts testing, California Prop 65 chemical warnings
European Union	EN 71, REACH, CE marking	Toy safety directive, chemical compliance, SVHC screening, CE marking where applicable
United Kingdom	UKCA, BS EN 71, UK REACH	Post-Brexit UKCA marking, UK-specific REACH compliance, equivalent EN standards under UK law
Australia / NZ	AS/NZS standards, ACCC	Australian consumer safety standards, product-specific requirements per ACCC guidelines
Middle East	SASO (Saudi), ESMA (UAE), GSO	Product registration, Certificate of Conformity, Arabic labeling requirements

Compliance requirements change frequently. We verify current requirements for your specific products and market at the time of your order. Don't assume last year's compliance still applies.

Third-party laboratory testing of pet products

How Testing Works

Testing Process

We arrange third-party laboratory testing through accredited test labs. Here's how the process works:

Step-by-step:

1. Requirement identification: We determine which tests apply based on your product type and target market
2. Sample selection: Production samples pulled and prepared for lab submission
3. Lab submission: Samples sent to accredited third-party laboratory (SGS, Intertek, TUV, or equivalent)
4. Testing: Lab conducts specified tests per relevant standards (ASTM, EN, REACH, etc.)
5. Report issuance: Test report issued with pass/fail results for each test parameter
6. Documentation: Test reports provided to buyer for compliance records and market access

Chemical Policy

Restricted Substances

Our policy on materials and chemicals — because pet safety starts with what goes into the product.

What We Screen For

Our Material Policy

Materials sourced from verified suppliers with material safety data
Food-grade and water-safe materials (304 stainless, food-grade silicone) where applicable
Non-toxic, pet-safe dyes and finishes across all product lines
Restricted substance testing arranged per buyer and market requirements
Substitute materials offered where regulatory changes restrict original spec
Full material traceability maintained from supplier to finished product

Important Note on Regulated Product Categories

Pet food, treats, supplements, veterinary medicines, and CBD products require additional regulatory compliance that goes beyond the scope of our standard manufacturing and testing services. These categories are subject to feed safety regulations, FDA/EFSA registration, facility licensing, and ingredient-specific compliance that varies by jurisdiction.

We do not offer these product categories without complete regulatory documentation and verified compliance for your target market. If you are interested in these categories, please contact us to discuss the specific regulatory requirements before placing an order.

Our core product range covers pet accessories, toys, gear, and hardware — not consumable or regulated health products.
