Service Background

      As essential gear accompanying children’s growth, the safety of various indoor and travel products for infants and young children draws significant public attention. Such products broadly include children’s chairs and stools, cots, cradles, playpens, strollers, baby carriers and many other categories. Children are naturally active and unable to avoid hazards; therefore, risk factors such as pinching injuries, falls, tipping over, crushing and mechanical hazards are core considerations during compliance reviews. On the premise of meeting basic environmental requirements for materials, products must undergo systematic multi-dimensional inspections for structural stability, dynamic durability, load-bearing capacity and chemical safety in accordance with corresponding standards. As a professional third-party inspection and testing organisation, HATEK can develop testing schemes for the above baby and children’s products that satisfy market access regulations across global regions. We help brands accurately identify quality risks, break down technical barriers to international trade, and fully safeguard product safety bottom lines and quality competitiveness.
