What it is
SGS is one of the world’s largest testing, inspection and certification (TIC) companies, testing products, inspecting goods and supply chains, and issuing certificates across many sectors.
Why it matters for compliance
Conformity often needs test reports against the right standards and, for higher-risk products, third-party assessment. SGS provides product testing (including chemical and safety testing relevant to REACH and product-safety regimes) and certification — useful for building the evidence in a technical file and verifying supplier claims.
How to use it
- Commission product and chemical testing against the relevant requirements.
- Use it to verify supplier data where independent confirmation is needed.
- Keep reports traceable to the specific product and correct standard editions.
Good to know
Where third-party conformity assessment is legally required, check NANDO for a body notified for your specific legislation.
