Product Safety Testing and Certification
TRaC provides a comprehensive range of test, assessment and certification routes for manufacturers, designers, importers, exporters and distributors of equipment to ensure they fulfil their legal obligations and demonstrate full compliance with national and international safety requirements.
TRaC is a National Certification Body (NCB) and Certification Body Test Laboratory (CBTL) under the IECEE CB scheme and an EX Certification Body (ExCB) and EX Test Laboratory (ExTL) under the IECEx scheme. This ensures that a safety test suite with suitable national deviations results in one test report for access to international markets via both these IEC schemes.
Approval of equipment for use in potentially explosive atmospheres tend to be mandatory across the globe. TRaC offers test reports and certificates which demonstrate that your products comply with international safety standards, helping you qualify for national certification marks, thereby giving you access to markets around the world.
EU Directives and CE marking of machinery and equipment for export into the European Union and worldwide markets is an increasingly important area for most manufacturers, involving a combination of the following testing and assessment, available from TRaC:

TRaC is a Notified Body for a number of the key Directives including LVD, Machinery, EMC, RTTE and ATEX. This enables TRaC to assist should a formal conformance procedure be applicable to a given Directive.
Ensuring your product meets all applicable directives requires a significant amount of documentation to accompany test reports. TRaC provides turnkey solutions and guides you through the process to gain certification from test planning to final issue of a Declaration of Conformity.
