Helmet safety and quality testing services opens for Vietnam, Cambodia and other regional suppliers

ACT Lab’s latest expansion is the opening of a new helmet testing laboratory in Vietnam in June 2025. This expansion supports the growing demand for personal protective equipment (PPE) manufacturing throughout the region.

The shifting of global production and supply chains, as well as established manufacturers played an important role in opening these services in Vietnam. Whether you’re in the motorcycle, bicycle, e-bike, skate, or snow markets, our team is ready to help you meet these important global safety standards and safety requirements.

“Establishing helmet and PPE testing in Vietnam reflects our commitment to supporting local manufacturers ,” said Michael Baker, Sales and Marketing Director. “We will continue expansion of services in Vietnam to meet the growing demands for global safety and compliance services for many industries in the region.”
