 CED Investigative Technologies Inc.'s engineers have been investigating
alleged product failures, misuses and accidents for over 17 years. Our
experts use a multi-discipline approach utilizing engineering talents such
as mechanical, electrical, metallurgical, civil, and structural to test
products under investigation.
In many investigations, testing a product is the key to determining
behavior during normal use and reasonable misuse. Testing is also used
to establish if a product meets applicable standards. Our Engineers examine
and consult on various products including household equipment, playground
