Research shows that 61% of U.S. households now have at least one security camera. Doorbells that show you who's knocking, alarms that ping your phone, motion sensors that catch what you miss. Home security technology has come a long way, and people are embracing it fast.
But have you ever stopped to wonder how all that stuff gets tested before it ends up in your home?
At #Intertek, our Life Safety and Security team puts these products through their paces before they ever reach a shelf. We work with manufacturers to test everything from how an alarm responds to how a camera holds up under different conditions. The goal is simple: by the time it gets to you, it should just work.
Next time you glance at your doorbell camera or check in on your security system, there is a good chance Intertek had something to do with getting it there.

You know the label on your sunscreen or antiperspirant? The one with directions, warnings, and active ingredients? There’s a lot more behind it than meets the eye. It’s not just packaging, it’s protection.
The average person uses 6–12 personal care products daily, including over-the-counter products like sunscreens and antiperspirants, often without a second thought. But if labels are unclear, incomplete, or non-compliant, it can lead to misuse, reduced effectiveness, or even health risks. This is why clear and accurate labeling is so important.
#Intertek Assuris helps companies get it right by reviewing labels and ingredients against U.S. regulatory requirements, ensuring products meet strict standards for safety, efficacy, and transparency. We translate complex regulations into clear, consumer-friendly information, so people know exactly how to use products safely and with confidence.

Hair ties. Clips. Bands you use every day. They sit close to the scalp, stretch, twist, and hold through hours of wear.
A typical hair tie can be stretched dozens of times in a single day. And yet, they’re rarely thought of as something that needs to be tested. Breakage, sharp edges, or poor-quality components can turn everyday accessories into safety concerns, especially with repeated use.
What feels simple isn’t always risk-free.
At #Intertek, we support brands with testing and inspection of hair accessories, from material safety to durability helping ensure they perform as expected, every time they’re used.
Because the things you use daily should work without a second thought.

Who would ever think there are currently 377 Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) safeguarding 38% of #UK waters. These areas help protect vulnerable habitats and species while enabling sustainable use and letting marine environments thrive for generations to come.
But protecting these areas takes more than just designating them on a map. It takes robust, science-based evidence to make sure they're actually working.
#IntertekMetoc provides independent quality assurance for seabed imagery analysis across MPAs, supporting reliable monitoring and assessment of sensitive habitats like rocky and stony reefs, along with classification of UK and Arctic waters.

Kitchen paper towels handle spills. Baby wipes touch sensitive skin. Printer paper feeds through machines without a second thought.
But behind each of these products, there’s testing most people never see.
Paper products are checked for things like strength when wet, fiber shedding, absorbency, and how they break down after use. Wipes and tissues are also reviewed for skin contact, including irritation risks and chemical residues that should not be there.
At #Intertek, we test these everyday products to make sure they perform the way you expect, clean, strong, and consistent. From raw materials to finished rolls and sheets, we help brands prove their products are ready for real life, not just the package.
Because when something is used every day, it has to work every time.

The cars we drive have a bigger impact on the planet than you might think.
The automotive sector is responsible for about 10% of all the pollution heating up our planet, and it's not just about what comes out of the exhaust pipe.
A lot of that impact happens before the car even hits the road, when all the individual parts are being made. Think about every headlight, body panel, Steering wheel that goes into a vehicle. Each one has its own environmental cost.
#Intertek works with part manufacturers and goes straight to the factories where those parts are made, collecting real, on-the-ground data to figure out the environmental impact of each part. That means car companies can zero in on the hotspots in car manufacturing instead of using assumptions.
That's good news for anyone buying a car. It means more transparency, smaller footprints, and companies that are actually doing the work, not just talking about it.
Real data. Real change.

The UK fashion industry is built on a lot more than just creativity.
From luxury labels to everyday high street brands, UK fashion reaches millions of consumers around the world each season.
But every collection that reaches the ramp or the stores has already passed through a complex journey of sourcing, manufacturing, testing, and compliance before it can be sold with confidence across global markets.
Through its collaboration with the UK Fashion & Textile Association (UKFT), #Intertek is helping support that journey. By providing technical expertise, testing capabilities, and regulatory insight, the partnership gives UKFT members access to the knowledge and assurance needed to navigate today’s evolving product requirements.
From safety testing and certification to regulatory guidance and global market access intelligence, the focus is simple: helping brands move forward with confidence.
Because great fashion deserves a strong foundation.

Every day, millions of packages travel across cities, highways, and doorsteps to reach you. In Mexico, e-commerce is booming, with tens of millions of people shopping online every year. That means an enormous number of boxes, bags, and containers making long journeys, and most people never stop to think about what keeps the stuff inside safe.
Here's something worth knowing: more than 30% of product damage during shipping is linked directly to packaging failure. Not the truck. Not the weather. The box itself.
At #Intertek Mexico, we test packaging the way it actually gets used in real life. That means compression, stacking, drops, vibrations, and all the rough handling that happens between a warehouse and your front door. We check whether the materials hold up, whether the design makes sense, and whether the package will actually do its job when it counts.
Good packaging testing does two things at once: it protects products and cuts costs. When packaging is optimized properly, companies waste less material, lose fewer products to damage, and build more trust with the people buying from them.
Every package that makes it to your door in one piece is a small promise kept. Intertek helps make sure that promise holds.

4 out of every 5 retail dollars spent globally still happens in a physical store.
Think about the last time you walked into a store and just felt like it had it together. The shelves were neat. The displays made sense. The whole place just felt like the brand knew what it was doing. That feeling doesn't happen by accident.
At #Intertek, we work behind the scenes to make sure it happens every time, across every store, in every city. From the factory floor to the shop floor, our retail inspection team checks every detail so nothing falls through the cracks.
Because when a customer walks in, the brand only gets one shot.
