Saving You Time and Ensuring Quality

We understand the challenges and costs that come with sample testing. When a sample arrives that doesn’t meet your specifications, it’s not just a disappointment—it’s also a loss of valuable time and money.

With over 18 years of experience since our founding in 2007, we simplify this process. Instead of having suppliers ship samples to you, they can send them directly to our dedicated testing offices. Here, our expert team conducts a comprehensive inspection to verify each sample against your standards. By partnering with us, you save on shipping costs, reduce delays, and receive results quickly, so you can make confident, informed decisions faster.

What is Sample Testing and Why is It Important?

Sample Testing is a crucial quality assurance step in the sourcing and manufacturing process. Before placing bulk orders, businesses request samples to verify product quality, materials, functionality, and compliance with requirements.

However, receiving non-compliant samples can be frustrating and expensive. That’s why TIC offers a smarter solution—suppliers send samples directly to our testing centers, where our experts conduct thorough inspections based on your specifications. This process eliminates unnecessary delays, saves shipping costs, and ensures only approved samples reach your hands.

Whether you’re sourcing new products or verifying modifications, our Sample Testing service ensures you only move forward with products that meet your expectations.

My product is in the initial production stage, and I want to verify the product quality to ensure consistency and minimize risks of wasted time, scrap products, rework, and shipping delays due to quality issues.

I am working with a new supplier or using new materials and want to ensure quality requirements are met. Our product demands high quality and requires quality tracking from the source.
