Evaluating the design and placement of small parts to prevent potential safety issues in products
Evaluating the Design and Placement of Small Parts A Crucial Service for Businesses
In todays fast-paced world, product innovation is key to staying ahead in the competitive market. However, with new designs come potential safety risks that can harm consumers, damage reputation, and result in costly lawsuits. To mitigate these risks, businesses must carefully evaluate the design and placement of small parts within their products. At Eurolab, our expert laboratory services provide this critical evaluation, ensuring your products meet the highest safety standards.
The Importance of Evaluating Small Part Design and Placement
Small parts, such as screws, hinges, or other components, are often overlooked in product design. However, they can pose significant risks to users if not properly designed and placed. A faulty small part can lead to accidents, injuries, and even fatalities. In the United States alone, there were over 200,000 recalls issued between 2013 and 2020 due to safety concerns related to small parts (1). This is a clear indication of the need for thorough evaluation.
