Charles,
You can find test labs that are accredited by the American Association
for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA) to test to EN 55020 (or any other
specific standard) by:
1. Going to the A2LA web site
http://www.a2la.org/
2. On the left-hand side, click on "Search for Accredited
Organizations".
3. On the Directory Search Page,
http://www.a2la.org/dirsearchnew/newsearch.cfm
enter "EN 55020" (or whichever standard you are interested in) in
the "Search For:" box. Set "Commercial Status" to "search
commercially available scopes only", because some labs accredited
by the A2LA only do testing for their own company. You may also
want to narrow down the list by state, country, and field of
testing. EN 55020 falls under Electrical (testing), for example.
4. Click on the "Submit Query" button.
5. Click on the certificate number (left-most column) of any labs that
look interesting.
6. Page down to their "SCOPE OF ACCREDITATION TO ISO/IEC 17025", and
search for "55020" (or whatever) to see if they are accredited for
the types of tests/calibrations that you need.
7. Clicking on the lab's name instead, will take you to their web site.
8. Depending on your needs, you may also want to search for equivalent
or nearly-equivalent standards. For example:
* "CISPR 20" for "EN 55020".
* "IEC 61000-4-3" for "EN 61000-4-3".
* "47 CFR Part 15" for "FCC Part 15".
I took a quick look at the NVLAP web page
http://www.nvlap.org/
But I don't find any place there, where you can easily search for labs
that NVLAP has redited to certain standards.
Thanks!
