Word of caution to about some labs, (not specifically pointing out a lab) Choosing a test house or a lab to certify a product can me a costly and timely endeavor. Coming from a previous position at a Regulatory agency, I would like to first off say "be careful" when choosing a agency to certify your product within the U.S., for that matter the world. Although a lab may have NRTL status, they may NOT be accredited for particular standards. In fact, some NRTLs are only accredited for 2 or 3 standards, and a listing by them does little if anything if they certify products that are not within the scope of their accreditation. You can check NRTL accreditations at the OSHA.gov webpage. I'm sure this may be true with other certifications. >From my experience, some test agencies may just be a middle man for submittal to larger NRTLs. Those opinions expressed in this email are the opinions of the individual, and not necessarily the company's. Regards, Ken Matsuda

While I personally welcome posts from anyone who offers sound regulatory information, especially those from laboratories (we have a few regular contributors who are lab managers), everyone here has been good at policing themselves from posting commercial advertisement. Please feel free to comment and interject into this forum. We would welcome your expertise . . .
