A certification partnerdoesn’t act like a certification giant.
North American Certification
We think you’ll find getting to market faster completely acceptable.
While most giants are noted for their size, there is one that is recognized for its size, speed and service.
You can hear the rumble. Certification giants do roam the earth. Some areparticularly skilled at acting high and mighty, letting their size get in the way of your progress. With the ETL Listed Mark, backed by indispensable resources and strategic insights, you can roll into the market with unparalleled speed, service and reliability.
You’ve heard the fallacies and fables. Here are the facts. On average, we deliver 15-day turnaround on safety testing, time and time again. Our competitors can take 30, 45, or even 60 days, depending on the lab and industry. Follow conventional wisdom and you’ll follow someone else to the marketplace. With streamlined queue times, we get products in and out to market much faster.
Truth is, the ETL Mark is the fastest growing certification mark in North America. We have over 50,000 listings, up more than 50% in just five years. Intertek is an OSHA-approved NRTL (Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory) which authorizes us to test products and enroll them into our proprietary certification program (ETL). Our ETL Listed Mark is proof of product compliance to North American Safety Standards. We test to UL, ANSI, CSA, ASTM and NFPA standards. AHJ’s in all 50 states and Canada accept the ETL Listed Mark as proof of product safety. You might say we have arrived ahead of schedule. We’ll make sure you do as well.
Our average turnaround time is 15 days. We get the job done in weeks. Not months.

General Electric
Hewlett-Packard
IBM
Matsushita
Home Depot
Hitachi
