Safety testing is a process used to evaluate products, materials, or systems to ensure they are safe for use. This testing helps identify potential hazards and risks, allowing manufacturers to make necessary improvements before the product reaches consumers. Common areas of focus include electrical safety, chemical exposure, and mechanical integrity. Various organizations, such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and American National Standards Institute (ANSI), set standards for safety testing. These organizations conduct rigorous assessments and provide certifications that indicate a product meets specific safety criteria. This helps consumers make informed choices and promotes overall public safety.
