Shoreline Marine Product Testing & Quality Control Procedures
The purpose of in-house testing and product control is to provide consumers the best performing marine products attainable at an affordable price.
New Product Testing - Allows us to test a product from day one, and develop the product from the ground up. Many to the test lab as an initial sample. These products are a new product will require multiple changes and revisions to achieve a passing result.
Current Production Testing - Testing current production products for product improvement. The products are tested beyond industry standards with performance charted throughout the test. This allows us to monitor our current production quality levels and constantly deliver upgrades and newly revised products that could otherwise sit stagnant for years. This testing also allows us to foresee product issues and react on a scheduled timeline if and when product quality issues are discovered.
Comparative Testing - Simple in thought but often overlooked. We compare the performance of our products to other competitive manufacturers' products in the testing lab under real life scenarios. This allows us to better monitor innovative, competitive products.
Testing to Failure - Upon completion of standard in-house testing — all products undergo further testing to the point of failure. This allows us to identify if there are weak points in the product we produce and test. While some items may pass all current industry standards this type of testing allows for product improvement on a deeper level resulting in a better product that will last multiple seasons. It is not uncommon for us to have products submerged in fresh and/or saltwater testing tanks for up to six months past their fail point.
Independent and Third Party Testing - Any test lab that considers itself always correct would be a liability to accurate and honest test results and product quality. For this reason we also test products with over 8 specialized independent testing labs covering multiple industry standards.
