OUR BROAD RANGE OF SERVICES

Icon Product Testing We test to nationally recognized standards such as NSF/ANSI 61, NSF/ANSI 14, ASME/ANSI, ASSE, ASTM, CSA, MSS, and IAPMO (PS, TS, and IGC). Products tested to these standards are generally for listing and certification purposes.
Icon Quality Assurance Testing/Evaluation This type of testing is usually conducted at the request of a manufacturer or supplier who wishes to ensure that models being produced or received are in compliance with the current standards or manufacturer’s own specification. On-site visits of manufacturing locations are also available to assist manufacturers with their in-house quality control system.
Icon Pre-testing Evaluation, Research/Development and Prototype Testing Testing of prototype units for compliance to standards can be costly. At IAPMO R&T Lab we offer a pre-evaluation service that includes evaluation of a product to the UPC as well as to the applicable test standard. The evaluation may include quality control and research and development testing to assist manufacturers in bringing the product into compliance with standards and codes. This prototype testing can help ensure that production models will also comply with the applicable standards. Pre-testing and evaluation can also help ensure that products from overseas will comply with our standards.
Icon Failure Analysis Testing We can test products to the maximum limit to determine a point of failure and generate an evaluation to determine the reasons or cause of the failure.
Icon Independent Witness Testing Our engineers visit the manufacturer’s facility or on-site location to test and evaluate products.
Icon Liaison Services IAPMO R&T Lab acts as a liaison between manufacturers and listing agencies. This may include assisting manufacturers with the preparation of submittal packages, typing applications, and delivery of product and applications to various agencies as well as follow-up with the various agencies until certification/listing is granted.
