Testing Consumer Products

Properties - Some tests are to find the properties of a material e.g.. strength. Prototype - when a prototype is made it is tested to see if it satisfies the design brief. Production - in a factory each part or stage is tested before it goes on to the next , this is called quality assurance ( QA). Products - the Road Traffic Authority of NSW buys cars at random and tests them in the crashlab. Choice Magazine tests consumer products. Procedure - in order for the tests to be meaningful there are very strict procedures laid down, often by standards associations.
