Capabilities
Three ways we keep products honest.
From a single component check to a full incident investigation, every job follows the same evidence-led method.
01
For Trading Standards
Screening checks and technical assessment in partnership with a government laboratory, so enforcement teams can act without unnecessary delay.

02
E-Bike & Battery Testing
Chargers, batteries, conversion kits and complete e-bikes, tested for electrical, mechanical and charge-system safety.

Fault Investigations
Overheating, fire damage or unexpected failure — we establish what happened, why, and what to do next.

The method
Calibrated. Reproduced. Reviewed.
We don’t guess. We examine the evidence, recreate the fault under controlled conditions, and review every finding before it leaves the lab.
01
Examine
A structured, evidence-led examination of the sample — mapping damage patterns, component failures and the indicators that explain how an incident developed.
02
Reproduce
Controlled testing with reference samples on calibrated equipment, to recreate the fault and confirm the most likely cause with confidence.
Sustainability
A laboratory that runs on sunlight.
We’re a predominantly digital business that keeps records, reports and communication electronic wherever possible. Our laboratory is powered solely by electricity from on-site solar panels, and end-of-life samples are handled by a specialist WEEE recycler.
