Smash-and-burn Product Testing

Intertek featured on truTV special “Testing the Limits”

Intertek announces that its laboratories are being featured in the new television special titled, Testing the Limits, premiering on the truTV network. Testing the Limits demonstrates the “bang, crash, boom” testing that a product must endure before it ever makes it on a shelf and into the hands of the consumer.

The show, filmed at three Intertek laboratories across the US, is chronicled by two Intertek engineers as they take viewers on an exclusive, behind the scenes journey into the world of product safety and performance testing.

Testing the Limits gives the public a never-before-seen look into the exciting world of product testing. But it’s all “just another day” for Intertek, as pushing products to their failure point is what the company has done for clients for over 100 years.

“We are excited to work with truTV to elevate the awareness of product safety to the masses in a unique and entertaining way,” says Gregg Tiemann, Chief Executive, Intertek Commercial & Electrical Products.

“Our company is known for creating innovative approaches in the industry, and using TV to spotlight the importance of product safety, in a bold way, aligns with the way we operate our business.”

Intertek opened its doors to truTV for this unique special to bring the unknown and unheralded world of product testing to the consumer.  Each year Intertek conducts millions of product tests and inspections across thousands of product categories throughout its network of more than 1,000 labs.
