What should I do if my products don’t pass certification testing?

If your products fail certification testing, it basically means they’re not quite hitting the mark in terms of legal, safety, or quality standards for the market. But don’t worry – here’s what you can do:

1. Fix the Issues: First, you’ll need to figure out what went wrong. It could be anything from the materials used to the design or even how the product was made. Once you’ve identified the issue, your supplier will need to make the necessary changes to meet the standards.
2. Retesting Time: After the fixes are made, it’s back to the testing phase! The product will need to be retested to make sure the changes worked and that it now meets the certification requirements.
3. Watch Out for Extra Costs: Failing the first round of testing might come with some extra costs – whether it’s for retesting, reworking the product, or tweaking the production process. So, it’s a good idea to be prepared for those extra expenses.
4. Timeline Delays: Failing certification can also cause some delays in getting your product to market. You’ll want to plan for that, so it doesn’t throw off your timeline too much.
5. Worst-Case Scenario: If the issues can’t be resolved or retesting doesn’t work out, you might have to scrap the product or find a new supplier who can meet the certification standards.

Bottom line? If the products fail, it’s about figuring out what went wrong, fixing it, and retesting until everything’s good to go!
