Safety regulations in North America make it mandatory for electrical/electronic products to be approved. Certification is the most common form of approval, however, in many situations, Field Evaluation may be the only practical form of approval. The field evaluation is a process whereby unapproved products can be evaluated on-site to requirements that are acceptable to the local AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction). Depending on the rules of local jurisdiction, the inspection site can vary and may be the place of installation, manufacturing, distribution, storage, or any other place accepted by the local AHJ.

In the USA, testing laboratories recognized by the AHJ are qualified to offer Field Evaluation services. We work with the NRTL’s who are recognized in several states and local jurisdictions, as well as being accredited by the International Accreditation Service specifically as a Field Evaluation Body. DC&T provides competitive pricing and fast turnaround times for scheduling your field evaluation needs.
