# Benchmark: speed up your r&d with our customised tests

## Boost your research and development with our benchmarks

As part of your [Research and Development](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/rd.md) projects, we can support you with [custom testing](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/rd/custom-testing.md) to create strategic benchmarks. The aim is to analyse and compare existing products on the market in order to optimise your developments and accelerate your innovation.

### What is an R&D Benchmark?

In this context, benchmarking is the in-depth analysis of a product or [raw material](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/laboratory-raw-material-inspection.md), whether from a competitor or a supplier.

It includes [deformulation](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/rd/support-product-development/laboratory-deformulation-analysis-reverse-engineering/), a process used to identify the composition and characteristics of a product in order to understand its structure and performance.

## Our benchmarking service for your R&D

## Benchmark

Determine the [composition](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/rd/problem-solving-related-research-and-development/accompaniment-in-solving-problems-of-chemical-composition-of-matter.md) of an unknown mixture

Compare the composition of your product with that of your competitor (double sourcing or multi-sourcing)

Secure your supplies by analysing a supplier's product to anticipate any variations in quality or performance.

### Our expertise in deformation

We provide you with cutting-edge [analytical tools](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources.md) and recognised expertise in chemistry and materials analysis to deliver accurate, reliable deformation. Our experts are with you every step of the way to interpret the results and help you make the most of them for your developments.
