Versus and Comparisons The best product certification companies and the best product certification labs;
Each year, we at High Tech Design Safety meet with well over 100 equipment and product engineers and managers with respect to their product certification needs. And because so many folks know our thoughts and feelings (from this website) on all things “Product Safety”, they often ask us who are some of the other evaluators and competitors we have in the area. Please note that in all cases we will act as your in-house product safety team and managers and work with the below labs to get your product completed, additionally we stand in the gap with knowledge to accelerate your program through these labs if that’s the route that needs to be taken. Often products do not need to go through these labs or can take another alternative and more expedient route to certification, you are fortunate to have someone to take that on for you.
Never ones to shy away from being blatantly honest with respect to competition, and wanting our customers to be as informed as possible, here is a list of some of the companies that have a solid product certification history:
