UL and CSA Product Testing Partner Needed for Commercial Power Equipment

A commercial equipment manufacturer is seeking an accredited testing and certification partner for a new electrically powered product intended for sale in Canada and the United States. The buyer needs early guidance on applicable standards, a formal testing plan and support through the certification process before full production begins. The product contains line-voltage components, control electronics, motors and a fabricated enclosure. The selected laboratory should be able to review preliminary design documentation before formal testing so that obvious compliance issues can be corrected before production tooling is finalized. Proposals should outline the anticipated certification path, required samples, documentation package, testing schedule, major fee components and expected turnaround time.
