Electrical Product Testing Laboratory Needed for North American Certification

A manufacturer of commercial control equipment is seeking an accredited laboratory to evaluate a new electrical product family for sale in Canada and the United States. Three closely related models will be submitted under one certification project where technically permitted.

The laboratory should review the preliminary design, identify applicable standards, provide a testing plan and manage the project through final report and certification marking authorization. Quotations should identify testing fees, engineering review, travel if required and anticipated retest charges.
