Sample Testing - 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 15 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.

TIC simplifies and accelerates your sample evaluation process. Here’s how our Sample Testing service benefits you:

✅ Expert Review: Our experienced inspectors check samples for functionality, compliance, and quality
✅ Reduced Risk: Avoid bulk orders based on faulty or misrepresented samples
✅ Efficient Workflow: We only forward verified samples to you, preventing waste of time and effort

This process protects your business from poor-quality products, hidden defects, or non-compliant materials before full production begins.

Once errors occur, the samples are returned to the supplier and you decide how to proceed. Only if proper or improved samples have been checked by us and no errors occur, the samples will be sent to you by us. This will save you a lot of time and money.
