This applies to many product categories, including custom lighting, control panels, commercial cooking equipment, inverters, heat/AC units, solar panels, and others. Whether you are seeking full certification that takes you through every step, field certification involving full one-time testing and labeling, or the limited testing in a field evaluation, we can get you into compliance, put a sticker on it, and then we go away. This saves you so much money. Remember: If your products fail your lead times and costs can easily double or more. We’re an investment that will help you avoid those extra costs and delays.

The start comes whenever you have the idea. Once you begin acting on that idea we hope you will come to us as early as possible. If you have identified your concept, and made a few preliminary drawings, that’s the best time to consult us. At that point we can review your drawings, identify the appropriate standards, then advise you about the best materials, and any necessary modifications you might need. We will also tell you what tests will be done on your product so you can finalize your design. We operate on the “measure twice, cut once” principle. This will enable you to build compliance directly into your design. 

So the steps in the development process go like this: 

  1. Concept
  2. Drawings
  3. Materials
  4. Test plan

Has your product just been red-tagged? Have you been shut down by inspectors? We can be on the job within 48 hours, getting you moving again. Even if it’s a big job with big equipment, we can do a field evaluation, get a label on a product, and you will be back in business.
