Why Sample Testing with TIC Matters

Verifies quality before bulk orders

Before placing bulk orders, businesses request samples to verify product quality, materials, functionality, and compliance with requirements.

Instead of having your suppliers ship samples to you, they send them directly to us—saving on shipping costs and cutting out unnecessary back-and-forth.

Tested by accredited partner labs

We forward samples to accredited partner laboratories for testing against your specifications, then coordinate the process and consolidate the results.

Only approved samples reach you

Non-compliant samples get filtered out—only approved ones are forwarded to you, so you can make confident, informed decisions faster.

Overview

What is Sample Testing and Why is It Important?

With over 19 years of experience since our founding in 2007, we simplify this process. Instead of having your suppliers ship samples to you, they send them directly to us, and we forward them to accredited partner laboratories for testing against your specifications. TIC coordinates the process and consolidates the results — only approved samples are forwarded to you. By partnering with us, you save on shipping costs, reduce delays, and receive results quickly, so you can make confident, informed decisions faster.

Quality You Can Trust

Sample Testing is a crucial quality assurance step in the sourcing and manufacturing process. Before placing bulk orders, businesses request samples to verify product quality, materials, functionality, and compliance with requirements.

Catch Issues Early

However, receiving non-compliant samples can be frustrating and expensive.

Smarter, Faster Sourcing

That’s why TIC offers a smarter solution—suppliers send samples directly to us, and we forward them to accredited partner laboratories for testing against your specifications. TIC coordinates the process and consolidates the results, so only approved samples reach your hands—eliminating unnecessary delays and shipping costs.

Whether you’re sourcing new products or verifying modifications, our Sample Testing service ensures you only move forward with products that meet your expectations.

The Process

What Does the Sample Testing Process Include?

If a sample fails, it is returned to the supplier and you decide how to proceed. Only once corrected samples have been tested and cleared do we forward them to you. This saves you a lot of time and money.
