Product Testing

Custom Product Testing

When your product doesn't fit a standard off-the-shelf test program, we design one that does — from an initial technical discussion through to a test plan built around your product, your standard, or your customer's requirement.

For products that don't fit a standard method

Not every testing need maps neatly onto a named standard. Product developers exploring a new design, businesses facing a customer-specific specification, and teams investigating a field failure all need the same thing: a test program built around their actual product and their actual question, not a generic checklist.

Accredited vs custom testing

Worth knowing before your project begins.

Falcon's NATA accreditation applies to specific, defined test methods within our scope of accreditation.
Bespoke or custom test programs are not automatically NATA accredited.
We'll confirm the accredited status of any method before your project begins, so there are no surprises in your final report.

Every custom program still needs a way to measure what actually happened.

From technical discussion to a finished report

01

Technical Discussion

We start with a conversation about your product, its intended use, and what you need to prove or investigate.

02

Test-Plan Development

We propose a test plan — methods, loads, conditions and instrumentation — built around your objective.

03

Testing

We carry out the agreed program in our laboratory, with instrumentation matched to what you need to measure.

04

Findings & Reporting

You receive a technical report setting out what we did, what we found, and what it means for your product.

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of products can you test with a custom program?

Products that don't fit a standard test method — new designs, one-off structures, customer-specific requirements. Get in touch with your product and objective and we'll advise.

Is custom testing NATA accredited?

Not automatically — our NATA accreditation applies to specific, defined test methods. We'll confirm the accredited status of any method before your project begins.

Can you help investigate a product failure?

Yes — describe what happened and what you need to determine, and we'll scope an investigation program.

How is a custom test program priced and scheduled?

It depends on the scope we agree together — get in touch and we'll provide a quote once we understand your objective.
