What are the important factors to consider when buying a bed or car battery? Our independent laboratory tests help consumers to make the right decisions and manufacturers to become better producers – whatever the product.
Testfakta conducts many different types of product test in a laboratory environment, all of which are characterised by relevant facts, transparent methods and consumer guidance.
Laboratory test
More and more people are choosing veggie mince over minced meat. But for someone who needs the same amounts of iron and zinc that meat provides, it can be a treacherous choice. Testfakta's test of 14 veggie minces shows that the body's ability to absorb iron and zinc is inhibited by the so-called phytic acid found in legumes.
Feta cheese
Testfaktas laboratory test of feta cheese consisted of analysis of sensory properties, nutritional content, and DNA, as well as testing for bacteria and antibiotics. The test’s purpose is to highlight authentic, high-quality feta cheese products.
Beds & mattresses
Our fifty-step process for testing beds and mattresses is arguably the world's most comprehensive bed test protocol.
Tumble dryers
On behalf of the electronics and white goods chain Elon, Testfakta Research has performed a laboratory test of Elvita tumble dryer. The tumble dryer has been tested together with comparable tumble dryers from Cylinda and Electrolux. Elvita’s tumble dryer performs consistently well and satisfies the requirements of Testfakta’s Verified Quality & Performance quality label.
Testfakta works with about 40 of Europe’s leading testing and research laboratories. The test methods are developed continuously in order to keep up with market developments. The results are analysed, assessed and compiled in consultation with the laboratories and external specialists.
Testfakta’s quality labels communicate the quality, performance and characteristics of the product in a credible way.
The purpose is to show that you have the best product on the market, suitable both for the market leader who needs to defend position and premium pricing and for quality-conscious challenger brands.
A third-party validation of the product’s quality and performance, with the aim to reverse potentially negative consumer perceptions. The verification is particularly suitable for private label or low-price brands.
A third-party validation for beds and mattresses, confirming high quality and good ergonomics for three different body types. The verification is particularly suitable for verification of a product range, private labels or new challenger brands.
The purpose of a Testfakta bio-based certification is to show the product or packaging’s content of renewable material. The certification scheme is a collaboration with state-owned RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden) and follows current EU recommendations for calculation and communication of bio-based content.
Credibility, transparency and independence are core values that sum up Testfakta’s operation. This is what consumers, producers and business partners have to say about Testfakta.
Being able to stamp and market our private label products with Testfakta’s quality label has real value. This has been welcomed by customers, who are keen to look at the documentation which is used widely by our sales staff. The label provides all parties with a sense of reassurance.

It can be really tough to communicate quality in an advertising context. To be successful in the long term, you need reliable evidence to support your message. The win in the wear test published by Testfakta in 2012 gave us that evidence.

We usually work with our customers in secrecy, but the reverse is true with Testfakta’s assignments; instead it’s a case of openness and transparency.
