Who
What products can apply for the SGS Performance Mark?
Large and small household appliances, lighting products, electronic products, power tools, wireless/telecommunications products, etc.
In recent years, due to the pandemic, electrical products such as air purifiers, UV germicidal lamps, and air conditioning systems have seen high demand for functional testing in air purification and antibacterial properties. However, beyond these, we can also provide customized experimental designs for other products such as refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers, computer monitors, and automobiles based on their specific features and requirements.
Why
How can the SGS Performance Mark help?
Test results provided by a third-party testing institution are not inherently the same as "certification/verification." Many businesses misuse these terms in advertisements, leading to consumer misconceptions. In fact, the Fair Trade Commission has fined businesses and online platforms for deceptive advertising when they only performed tests but claimed their products were "verified" by an impartial institution. While the intention to showcase product features and gain consumer trust is good, improper use of test reports can lead to legal violations.
By passing SGS functional testing and expert evaluation, using the SGS Performance Mark not only builds consumer trust but also helps avoid legal risks related to false advertising and minimizes disputes regarding the unauthorized use of a third-party testing agency's logo.
