Chris, Just be careful. Many labs say they will do it, but end up sub-contracting the various tests to other labs. Depending upon the nature of your equipment, not all labs will have the facilities to perform the fire tests, earthquake, vibration, etc.. Thus, you may find out that your equipment still will be shipped to various places to have these tests done.
I don't know if things have changed, but very recently, for example, the air contaminants tests could only be performed at the Battelle Institute in the U.S. In my estimation, Underwriters Laboratories in Norhbrook, Illinois (U.S.) have the best facilities for fire tests. My position would be, if I have to ship product somewhere, I would like to ship to a lab that could perform most of the tests at their premises and reliably sub-contract out the rest. The key word here, is "reliably".

Feel free to contact [email protected] and ask for Dr. Edward Usoskin or Gonen Usishkin. Feel free to post your findings.
