Product Safety Testing Lab

Product safety testing labs test consumer products for safety standards, regulatory compliance, and certifications (UL, CE, FCC).

With products requiring certification and safety critical, labs generate revenue of $300,000-$1,000,000+ with 45-65% margins through testing services.

The business requires laboratory facility, testing equipment (electrical safety, EMC, mechanical), accreditations and certifications, engineering staff, and regulatory expertise.

Services include electrical safety testing (UL, IEC), EMC and RF testing (FCC, CE), mechanical and physical testing, toy safety (CPSC, ASTM F963), chemical testing (Prop 65, REACH), and certification support.

Revenue through per-product testing fees.

Success factors include accredited testing laboratory status (ISO 17025), equipment investment for required tests, regulatory and standards expertise, building manufacturer and importer relationships, and Amazon and retail compliance.

Marketing focuses on consumer product manufacturers, importers, Amazon sellers, and retailers.

With product safety regulations strict and certifications mandatory in 2025, product testing offers compliance opportunities serving consumer goods with accreditation and equipment as major barriers.
