Kitchen Testing

A new kitchen is a big investment and must be fit for purpose. To reflect this our tests replicate regular use and even occasional misuse.

Tests cover kitchen furniture (stability, safety, strength and durability), worktop tests and component tests, all of which give an assurance of performance.

We’re UKAS accredited to test domestic and commercial:

• Kitchen storage units, including doors, shelves, carcasses
• Worktops and surfaces, assessing abrasion, impact, scrape and scratch resistance; resistance to wet and dry heat; chemical resistance (to oils, acids, bleaches, tea and coffee)
• Components, including hinges, handles and drawer runners
