Product Use Test

The Product Use Test is Beneficial to See the Product Quality

In the end, all kinds of products are ” influenced” by consumers. Consumers’ actual experience directly reflects the quality of such products. Therefore, most manufacturers and suppliers attach great importance to consumers’ evaluation, which not only helps them improve the product structure and function, but also reduces the profit loss caused by complaints.

But how to know consumers’ experience before products enter the market?  Generally, before the product leaves the factory, the importer will entrust CQI inspection to carry out product use test. In this link, CQI inspection will carry out different tests according to the different functions of the product. In addition to the basic weight and size and the functions mentioned in the instructions, it is very important to simulate the actual use of the consumer and analyze the problems that will arise from different aspects of the product. Before this, the product also needs to pass the laboratory tests, so CQI inspection also provide laboratory consulting and testing services. Please see Lab test.

Paper cup function check, pour in hot coffee and check if it will leak

For example, the coffee cup of disposable products,the customer only requires us to make the fit between the cup cover and the cup body,which means the cover must completely match with the body without any gaps or feeling too tight.And in the simulated product use test, hot coffee is poured and left for 2 hours to check whether there is coffee leakage at the bottom and sides of the cup.This test is indeed simulated according to actual functions, but only under normal circumstances.  In life, every consumer uses paper cups in different way and third-party inspection companies need to consider what problems will arise in the case of abnormal use and conduct product use test again.

Since it is a coffee cup, most consumers will drink the cup directly taken by their hands after buying coffee, because now coffee shops will attach heat shields to the sides of the cup so that the cup will not be hot.  However, a few consumers will hold the lid with their hands. At this time, if the lid cannot bear the weight of hot coffee, a trip to the hospital may be inevitable.
