Why use SGS Safety/Risk Assessment Services?
Just because your brand is legally compliant does not mean it is safe.
A majority of product recalls or injuries are the result of design defects. Over 70% of product recalls in the United States occur on products that either conform to legal standards or do not have standards defined for them.
SGS recognizes that in today’s litigious environment, just meeting legal regulations is not always sufficient to protect against product failures or design defects. To deliver safe products you have to assess each potential hazard inherent to the foreseeable use of your products.
Safety and quality are decisive factors for the success of a product. Consumer products present different risk characteristics and conducting product risk assessment requires expertise. You may need professional assistance to safely meet these requirements.

- Cost savings
- Reduced product recalls
- Faster time to market
- Brand protection by reducing complaints, product returns, and injuries.
