Today the love for cooking meat over fire is still as strong as thousands of years ago, but the ways to enjoy it has become easier. BBQ appliances are now readily available around the world.

InTouch Services has an inspection team in China dedicated to inspecting these popular, but also potentially very dangerous, appliances.

In the development of our quality control procedures and standards, we take into account various international standards, including:
