Here's what people are saying about us
We did a dust-test according to an automotive norm. testxchange was the best solution for finding a suitable partner quickly. The personal contact made me feel very confident. Happy to use the service again in future!
For shared mobility applications (telematics), we regularly require laboratory testing and certification of our products. The fast and professional execution of projects by testxchange is a really useful support for us, especially for complex testing requirements. This saves us time and money.
Finding a test laboratory can be complex and time consuming. With testxchange I can describe my tests and receive offers — quickly and easily. This is how it should work.
Instead of actively approaching or calling each lab, we can now wait for replies in our mailbox - I estimate the time effort advantage to be 10:1!
For our testing requirement, we received a quote through testxchange within 48 hours.
