Industrial environments are demanding, high-risk settings where safety, reliability, and performance are non-negotiable. Whether a product is an electronic device, mechanical component, or chemical solution, it must perform exactly as specified under real operating conditions. Unfortunately, many new products and solutions are released to the market without being thoroughly tested or validated for actual industrial use. Relying solely on datasheets and supplier documentation can expose operations to unnecessary risk.
In industries such as mining, manufacturing, power generation, and processing plants, equipment failure can result in serious safety hazards, costly downtime, damage to assets, or environmental incidents. A product that performs well in a laboratory or controlled environment may behave very differently once exposed to dust, vibration, temperature extremes, electrical noise, moisture, or chemical exposure. This is why independent testing and validation are critical before deploying any product into service.
Testing and validation ensure that a product is safe, reliable, and suitable for its intended application. This process verifies that the product performs according to its specifications, complies with relevant standards, and can withstand real-world operating conditions. It also helps identify design weaknesses, installation risks, or limitations that may not be obvious during initial development.
Rice Engineering has the facilities, experience, and technical expertise to test and evaluate a wide range of products for industrial applications. Whether it is an electronic system, sensor, control device, or chemical product, we validate that it performs as claimed and that it is safe for use in the intended environment. Our testing processes are structured, repeatable, and aligned with industrial best practices.
Following testing, Rice Engineering supplies formal test results and detailed test data. This documentation provides confidence and traceability, assuring clients that the product has been properly evaluated and is suitable for deployment. These results also support internal approvals, audits, and long-term asset management decisions.
With strong in-house engineering capabilities and deep industrial knowledge, Rice Engineering is well positioned to evaluate any product, regardless of complexity. We work closely with our clients to understand the application, risks, and performance requirements before testing begins.
If you have a product that needs to be tested or validated before use, please give Rice Engineering a call. We are here to assist, advise, and ensure your solutions are safe, reliable, and fit for purpose.
