Sports, Fitness and Leisure Equipment
Your trusted expert for demonstrating product safety and reliability
The increased interest in health, fitness and physical well-being has spurred significant worldwide growth in the market for all kinds of products and equipment used in sports and other recreational activities. What’s more, professional athletes and informed consumers are increasingly seeking information regarding the performance and durability characteristics of individual products so that they can select products that best meet their needs and expectations. In this dynamic market, manufacturers of sports and leisure equipment are not only expected to ensure that their products comply with applicable safety requirements and standards, but to also substantiate specific claims regarding product performance.
Our sports, fitness and leisure equipment testing services
Most types of sports, fitness and leisure equipment are expected to meet requirements for functional and electrical safety before being granted access to major markets. In addition to testing for compliance with regulatory requirements, manufacturers may also choose to subject their products to performance and durability testing in order to provide consumers with information on how their products will perform under actual use conditions. Finally, some retailers may require additional product testing and supply chain assessments as part of their product procurement process.
TÜV SÜD offers testing services for a wide range of sports, fitness and leisure equipment. Our testing and certification services support efforts by equipment manufacturers to comply with regulatory requirements and achieve market access around the world.
