We are very different from other testing laboratories.

  • We partner with you to make sure your unique needs are met.
  • We will educate you on medical device requirements.
  • We know your products - our medical device compliance engineers are the best in the industry.
  • We understand how important "time to market" is for your business.
  • Test locally and sell globally - we have 58 locations throughout the world, with 22 labs in North America.
  • And of course, we hold all the accreditations and provide all the services you need to sell your medical device on the global market.

We offer a comprehensive list of services so you can meet worldwide requirements:
  • Product Safety Testing and Certification
  • Performance Testing
  • EMC Testing
  • Assessment Services: design reviews, software, risk analysis, technical files and 510(k) submittals.

We have the accreditation you needs to sell your products worldwide. To meet your North American market entry needs, we are an OSHA recognized Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory, we are authorized by the FDA to review 510(k) submittals and we are accredited by the Standards Council of Canada as a Certification/Testing Organization. For CE marking your medical device we have Notified Body Status in Europe and for selling your product to over 33 countries around the world, we are a National Certification Body in the worldwide CB Scheme.
