Team Member Tuesday - Kim Gain

Beth Mack • Feb 08, 2021

Team Member Tuesday with Kim Gain!

Today we are celebrating our Testing Proctor, Kim Gain. Thank you for the important work you are doing to save children from accidental poisoning...you are making a difference.

How long have you worked for BDMG?

I have worked with my great Harrisburg BDMG Team since 2009.

Tell us a little bit about your family.

I've been married for 25 years to my husband, Stan, and have three children. Ethan is 21 and in his last year of college at West Chester University, Tanner is 19 and currently attending HACC but will be transferring to West Chester University in the fall. Our daughter, Olivia, is 14 and a freshman at Palmyra High School; she is the last one at home and keeps us pretty busy as she plays field hockey and lacrosse.

What is your favorite quote?

One of my favorite quotes is by Bob Marley, "Love the life you live, live the life you love."

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?

We have always wanted to travel to Italy and if all goes well in the next year, we plan to go next May with some of our great friends that we enjoy traveling with.

If you were to retire and work at Disney World, what would be your dream job?

When I retire I plan to travel to Disney but if I had to work there it would be any job, maybe the Tea Cup ride that would put me around all the little kids and their excitement to be there.

Do you have a favorite non-profit or organization that you like to volunteer for or support?

I would like to help out more at The Caring Cupboard here in Palmyra. We have bottle tested there and it is run by some great people with such happiness to be there helping our community.

What is the funniest situation you have run into while doing child-resistant package testing?

I love working for Bird Dog and seeing all these little kids at their schools. I have so many favorite moments but I just love how they have so much to tell you in such a small amount of time and what they choose to share cracks me up! The stories I leave there with make me laugh throughout the day.

Kim, thank you for sharing your story! We appreciate your giving us a peek into your life and why you are such a special member of our team!

What Does It Mean To Be ISO 17025 Accredited?

By Mark Perkins • 10 Apr, 2024

What Does It Mean To Be ISO 17025 Accredited? As the world leader in child-resistant and senior-friendly package testing, Bird Dog Marketing Group considers ISO 17025 accreditation an essential requirement for all testing laboratories, and this is why we choose to be audited for accreditation annually. Our global customers have the assurance that they can trust the results we provide to them on every test. What is ISO 17025 Accreditation? ISO 17025 accreditation, the international standard created by the International Organization for Standardization, is pivotal for testing laboratories, ensuring a globally recognized standard of quality and reliability in their management system and technical competence. It is comprised of various requirements and guidelines use by laboratory customers, regulation boards, accreditation authorities, and organizations to verify, recognize and ensure the competency impartially, and consistent operation of laboratories in their testing and calibration processes. It is particularly crucial for those offering Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), ISO, and CSA child-resistant package testing services, as it validates the precision, accuracy, and consistency of our testing methods. Why ISO 17025 Accreditation Matters to Bird Dog Marketing Group? ISO 17025 accreditation not only bolsters confidence among our clients regarding the credibility of our test results, but it also aligns with testing procedures with international standards, facilitating the acceptance of test results across international borders and industries. This ensures the child-resistant package testing results BDMG completes for your company can be used for package distribution globally. Ultimately, we believe that for laboratories committed to excellence in CPSC, ISO, and CSA testing, ISO 17025 is not just a benchmark, but a necessity for ensuring quality, fostering trust, and expanding global reach. As a global leader in child-resistant package testing for over 55 years, Bird Dog Marketing Group is committed to your product’s excellence through the highest standards of testing protocols. I look forward to continuing the discussion and answering any questions you may have. ~ Mark Perkins, Co-CEO, Bird Dog Marketing Group
