Custom Solutions
In 2015 Bureau Veritas developed a customized test to address an issue occurring in the market. The metal discs or caps that cover the rivets on cookware were popping off and hitting customers, posing an injury hazard. We developed a test plan to recreate the conditions for failure, which allowed retailers and manufacturers to confidently assess their product and troubleshoot the issue which was occurring.
