Materials must be tested to ensure their suitability for making a particular product. A technical officer describes the different types of objects he tests and what he is looking for. He explains that he tests for strength, sharp points and edges, durability, fire resistance and whether they are toxic. Some of the safety tests are then demonstrated on a skateboard.
