What do our customers say?
“We contacted FCMtesting when we needed to have our ceramics with our own developed glazes tested and approved for food contact.
The collaboration has been a really good experience – with qualified guidance, quick execution of migration tests and help with preparing a declaration of conformity.
The result is that we can now sell our ceramics with peace of mind and at the same time continue to develop our glazes.”
Anders K., Odd Boys Ceramic

not the most expensive solutions. This has created great trust and security in the collaboration.”
