WE MAKE THINGS SIMPLE!





Field Evaluations – If your product is already installed in the field, we can evaluate and test it in order to provide certification for a specific instance of installation, rather than certification for the entire production of a product, for compliance to the applicable requirements of the National Electric Code (NEC) and the relevant local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). If the product(s) is (are) in compliance, we will confirm with the inspector and issue a report. Depending on which NRTL is being used for certification, we can even apply a label to the product upon completion of our evaluation.

No matter where your product is in its lifecycle, PSC is prepared to help. In every case, we are committed to getting you through the entire certification in the least time and for the least expense.

Field Evaluation Services

A field evaluation is a process whereby products that do not have a certification acceptable to the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), owner or other regulatory body can be evaluated to the applicable product safety standard(s) for the specific application and location where the product is being utilized. The process includes construction inspection for use of components, assembly and limited nondestructive testing to complete the assessment.

Key Points:

Removes your Red-Tag

One-time certification – no factory inspections

One unit or 100’s

We complete field evaluations for low and medium voltage applications.

Some of our key areas for Field Evaluations also include:

Industrial control and utilization equipment, including industrial control panels, factory automation equipment, industrial process equipment, motor-operated tools, and machinery such as air compressors, pumps, and so forth.

Products We Test

Some of the world’s largest companies use our philosophy to institute a culture of safety into the management of their product lifecycle. You can count on PSC to always provide straightforward explanations of safety issues that often arise during the testing process. We offer solutions to non-compliance rather than simply reporting a no-pass statement.

Success in our book is your product approval and launch followed by our continued business relationship – and referrals. We’re proud to say that 70 percent of our work comes from repeat customers involved in product development. We think this speaks to the quality of our work.
