SVI Labs
Our laboratory works as an integrated part of SVI’s sourcing, engineering, and quality teams—providing practical testing support that strengthens product readiness and protects market delivery.
In-House Testing Support
For Product Safety, Performance, and Compliance
SVI Labs supports product development, quality assurance, and compliance management through in-house testing capabilities that help identify risks earlier in the supply chain process.
By verifying product performance, packaging reliability, and selected compliance requirements before shipment, we help clients reduce delays, improve consistency, and make better decisions throughout development and production.
Why In-House Testing Matters
Testing issues discovered too late can lead to rework, failed compliance checks, delayed shipments, or costly market risk. In-house testing allows potential problems to be identified earlier, before they affect production schedules or shipment readiness.
With in-house testing support, clients benefit from:
- Earlier identification of product and packaging risks
- Faster feedback during product development and sample evaluation
- Better alignment between product specifications and market requirements
- Improved consistency before third-party lab submission or shipment
- Reduced risk of avoidable quality or compliance delays
SVI Labs is designed to support practical decision-making, not just generate testing reports.

How SVI Labs Supports Your Projects
Integrated Into the Supply Chain Process
SVI Labs supports key stages of product development and production, not just final verification. By integrating testing earlier into the supply chain process, we help identify risks sooner, support better decision-making, and improve product readiness before shipment.
During Product Development
- Material and component verification
- Sample evaluation
- Early performance and safety checks
- Packaging structure review
- Risk screening before mass production
Pre-Production
- Pre-production sample testing
- Function and durability checks
- Issue investigation and validation
- Packaging and transit-related verification
- Additional testing support for corrective actions
During Production
- Random sample(draw from the production line) testing
- In-process performance verification
- Follow-up testing on identified issues
- Corrective action validation
- Ongoing packaging verification support
Pre-Shipment
- Pre-shipment testing verification
- Packaging reliability checks
- Transit-related verification
Third-Party Laboratory Coordination
In addition to in-house testing, SVI also coordinates with approved third-party laboratories when regulatory, retailer, or customer-specific testing is required.
This helps ensure testing is managed efficiently and aligned with market, buyer, and compliance requirements.
