What is a Design Evaluation?
Hazard Assessments and Design Evaluations are two effective means to help manufacturers and brands identify safety issues related to product design.

A Hazard Assessment is an in-depth review of your product for potentially dangerous design features. Design Evaluations are intended for products while still in the design phase and can be used to determine what tests should be applied to your product. These evaluations provide in-depth analysis of your product for features that are potentially hazardous along with possible recommendations for modifying product design. The objective of both these services is to help you make informed decisions about your product’s design to minimize recall and liability concerns.

What are the key benefits?
• Evaluate safety issues related to design before production to minimize risks
• Reduce engineering time by identifying potential hazards at an earlier stage in the manufacturing process, so design modifications can be less costly
• Minimize the risk of costly recalls, returns and complaints
• Gain confidence in the products you deliver to market
• Enhance risk management and brand protection
