Every Inglesina project undergoes a schedule of tests for assuring
high level of security.
Materials Testing
Every material intended for a project is clearly defined by
technical specifications and is then laboratory-tested for proof
of compliance to childcare regulations and standards. Thus each
material destined to the "hard" and "soft"
parts of a product is subjected to physical tests such as
strength, endurance and resistance to deformation, tests for
measuring the degree of ignitability, and chemical tests such as
fastness to solvents, washing, and exposure to the sun and
atmospheric agents.
Parts Testing
Once a product is assembled the test routine envisaged for each
project calls for a series of physical endurance tests that are
performed internally, based on the standard requirements that have
to be met. This refers in particular to requirements dictated by
the proper use or otherwise of the product, defined over the years
on the basis of experience and market feedback.
Approval Testing
In the last phase, products must be shown to comply with European
and international statutory requirements. As a further guarantee
of product conformance, Inglesina relies on leading national and
international Test Laboratories for this phase. Nevertheless, this
decision is not dictated by mere marketing requirements but, on
the contrary, by the heartfelt sensitivity that characterizes all
the undertakings of Inglesina, which has always been seriously
attentive to the safety and well being of kids. This sensitivity
to safety is further confirmed by the company's participation in
Workshops associated with the European Committee for
Standardization (CEN), whose purpose is to promote the
harmonisation and updating of national standards in individual
countries.
