Professional Services
An accredited testing, inspection and certification body based in Delta, BC, handling product safety approvals and on-site field evaluations for electrical and fuel-burning equipment across Canada and abroad.
Product certification is one of those services most people never think about until a piece of equipment cannot be energized. LabTest Certification is a testing, inspection and certification body, which means it examines products against national and international safety standards and issues the mark an inspector looks for. Its published scope covers electrical goods, hazardous location equipment, electromagnetic compatibility, fuel burning appliances, plumbing, marine products, solar and batteries, building materials and protective equipment.
The head office and laboratory sit in Delta, on 92 Street, with a second British Columbia site in Richmond and further offices in Ontario, Nevada and Texas. That is why this listing carries a service area line in place of a neighbourhood. There is no Chilliwack shopfront, and anyone who goes looking for a counter here will not find it. The company is included because it works into the region from outside it, which is ordinary in this field: the laboratory has to sit somewhere, and the inspector is the part that travels.
Field evaluation is the part of the business that most often travels. It applies when full certification is impractical, because the equipment is one of a kind, already installed, too large to ship, or has been red tagged and cannot be used until it is signed off. An inspector attends and assesses the product where it stands. Coverage is described as a network of field inspectors rather than a list of towns, so the Fraser Valley is worth raising directly when booking. The accreditations are published and specific: Standards Council of Canada, the International Accreditation Service, recognition by OSHA as a nationally recognized testing laboratory, and notified body status under the European ATEX directive. What no listing can tell you is whether a particular product sits inside the scope of any one of them, which is the first thing to establish on the phone. The Delta line is 604-247-0444, with a toll free 1-855-346-0444.
Based outside Chilliwack and serves it as part of a wider area, so this is a call-out service rather than somewhere to visit.
