There are numerous ways in which a product or component may fail in service. A failure analysis investigation starts by gathering background information, including material, manufacturing process, circumstances surrounding the incident, review of engineering drawings, material specifications, previous problems, as well as maintenance and inspection reports.

In addition to understanding the product engineering, materials and failure mechanisms, our analysis also includes the environment, the end use, the installation, and life history of the product. We are also aware that plastics parts can fail prematurely because of the intentional or unintentional abuse by the end users. All the facts and evidence are incorporated to help complete the picture before drafting an expert opinion, our knowledge and technical expertise are tailored to provide you with the solutions you need.

The experts at OCI Group apply a rigorous scientific approach to determine the failure mode and cause of a component and whether the failure was due to a manufacturing deficiency/defect, installation, maintenance (or lack of thereof), usage, or wear and tear. We discuss the cases with our clients at the onset of the investigation and advise on the best course of action.
