Intertek's electrical safety accreditations, expertise, and experience can help you gain faster approvals and wider market access for your telecom equipment.

North America

When your telecom or radio product is found in compliance to North American standards, it’s eligible to bear our ETL Listed Mark. The ETL Listed Mark is recognized by authorities having jurisdiction throughout the U.S. and Canada. When customers see the ETL Listed Mark on your product, they know it has been tested to standards such as those by UL or CSA. In fact, the ETL Listed Mark is equivalent to the UL Mark in that they are both provided by an OSHA recognized Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL). 

In addition to being an OSHA NRTL, Intertek is also accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) as a Testing Organization (TO) and Certification Body (CB). And for Mexico, we are accredited by the Entidad Mexicana de Accreditacion A.C. (EMA) to provide testing to the safety requirements of NOM standards. Intertek Mexico is a certification body for NOM, and through an agreement with Normalizaciony Certification Electronic, A.C., (NYCE), we are able to assist you with NOM-ETL or NOM-NYCE Mark certification.

Telecom and Radio products have to be complied with the requirements of Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in US and Industry Canada (IC) in Canada. In addition to providing testing service for FCC/IC, Intertek is accredited as a qualified Telecommunications Certification Body (TCB) by FCC and a qualified Foreign Certification Body (FCB) by IC. We provide complete one-stop service for your telecom equipment entering North America market.

South America

Intertek cooperates with the largest certification body (IRAM) in Argentinean, which enables us to provide you with product certification and streamlined access to the Argentinean market (IRAM Mark).

European Union

We are a certified body and authorized by Taiwan Accreditation Foundation (TAF). These designations allow us to test your telecom and radio equipment for CE mark to Low Voltage Directive and the Radio & Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (R&TTE) Directive.

In addition to CE Marking, you can add value to your telecommunication or radio products by using independent testing that results in our S Mark. The S Mark is highly valued throughout Europe, adding credibility to your products and company. As a voluntary mark, the S Mark shows buyers that you went beyond minimum standards to prove your product is safe. To 450 million Europeans, “S” stands for safety.

If you plan to market your product in Germany, we also provide the GS Mark. The GS Mark, coupled with the S Mark, can help you gain seamless market access throughout the European Union.

Asia Pacific

If you wish to market your product to Asia Pacific, we can guide the way. In Taiwan, we are not only a qualified testing laboratory but also a certified body (RCB) authorized by National Communications Commission (NCC). Our recognition is certified by the designate approved system NATA of Australian communications Authority (ACA) authorizes to test telecommunications equipment. We have a partnership with the Russian Centre for Tests and Certification (ELMAS and Rostest) to provide GOST R Certification.
