Business Editors

OAK RIDGE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 16, 2003

Diversified Product Inspections, Inc. (OTCBB:DPRI), a provider of independent product failure analysis, air contamination and fire investigations for the insurance industry announced today, that fees from engineering examinations by members of the company's Engineering Technical Council continued to increase. These fees are in addition to the standard inspection fees, which are performed on approximately 800 failed products per month.

John Van Zyll President and CEO stated, "In January 2002 we created our Technical Council consisting of nationally recognized engineers to provide advice and consultation regarding engineering inspections on product liability items sent to DPI by our insurance industry clients.

We are pleased that we are able to offer professional engineering services to our clients through the use of our Technical Council members. The requests for engineering studies by insurance industry claims departments have increased significantly over the last few months. This is evident by the fact that in the first six months of this year we added $3,252 in revenues from added value engineering for our reports. During the third quarter ending September 30, 2003, over $12,900 in revenues were booked from engineering invoices. This is a trend we see continuing as insurance companies continue to expand their subrogation efforts relating to product liability cases."
