Tests and Researches
When you visit Consumer Reports.org or happen to read its periodical, you may notice that the company publishes a lot of research results. Those figures and facts are not taken out of nowhere. They are fresh and precise.
Consumer Reportshas been testing products since 1936.
Consumer Reports operates National Testing and Research Center, in Yonkers, N.Y. It is the largest nonprofit center in the world which provides educational and consumer product testing. Research and testing are fundamental components of Consumer Reports activity.
Before forwarding a product to one of the labs at the company’s Yonkers headquarters, it is subjected to considerable research. Consumer Reports specialists collect information about products and services, about demand in the marketplace, as well as about what the company’s subscribers plan to buy. Before developing the testing schedule, technical, editorial, and research personnel study that material, taking into consideration the suggestions of the subscribers.
After defining the project's scope, the researchers buy the products which will be used as test samples in 65 US cities. To maintain laboratory testing, manual questionnaires are held to gather customers’ experiences. About 100 experts work in seven major technical departments for testing – auto test, appliances, electronics, baby & child, health & family, foods, and recreation & home improvement. At the same time, three departments – product information, product acquisition, and statistics and quality management – employ more than 25% of the expert personnel. There are also more than 150 anonymous shoppers all over the United States. In these laboratories modern testing equipment is used. Moreover, the company’s engineers contribute their own developments to the research process. During testing the specialists apply government and industry standards as well as their own.
The Consumer Reports National Research Center is a research affiliate of Consumer Report’s National Testing and Research Center in Yonkers, N.Y. It consists of highly-trained social scientists who apply state-of-the art techniques in their surveys. The Center polls one million consumers annually to report their research results of experiences with services, products, and health care.
