Teach Early Safety Testing

This KID program is designed to promote the development of safe products by integrating children’s product safety, standards, and testing practices into the engineering curriculum.

KID’s TEST provides important background materials and educational opportunities on safety for tomorrow’s designers and engineers of children’s products. TEST gives student engineers and designers the tools they need to integrate safety into any product they design and apply appropriate testing practices and standards to the products. TEST will help manufacturers and testing laboratories find qualified students already familiar with standards and testing.

TEST is funded in part through a grant from Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL). UL also provides technical support in the development of the program.

If you would like more information on TEST or want to share how you have used these materials in the classroom, contact KID.
