Accredited third-party product testing, inspection and certification for manufacturers pursuing Canadian, U.S. and international approvals.
LabTest Certification Inc. is a third-party testing, inspection and certification body whose head office in Delta is described on its site as roughly 25 minutes from Vancouver. Despite the name, this is a product-safety lab rather than a medical testing lab: what comes through the door is appliances, electronics and industrial equipment. Listed services include product testing, inspection and certification, R&D testing, test witnessing, field evaluations, Preliminary Design Review, file transfer, management systems services and training programs delivered online and in person. Categories run from electrical equipment and hazardous locations to EMC, plumbing, marine, solar, batteries, lighting and EV charging systems.
Accreditation underpins the work. The Standards Council of Canada accredits the company to ISO 17065 as a certification body and to ISO 17020 as an inspection body. The International Accreditation Service accredits it to ISO/IEC 17025 as a testing laboratory, and to ISO 17020 for NFPA 790 and 791 field evaluations. The ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board covers ISO/IEC 17025 for intentional and unintentional radiator testing. The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration recognizes the company as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory under 29 CFR 1910.7. It also acts as an EU Notified Body and a UK Approved Body under registration number 2815. Accredited IECEx membership under the IEC 60079 series rounds out the list. The full accreditation scopes are published on its own site.
Clients are commercial rather than residential: manufacturers seeking Canadian, U.S. or international product approvals. Scope defines any given project. A battery pack run to UL 1642, UL 2054, CSA C22.2 No. 62133-1 and 62133-2, ANSI/CAN/UL 1973 and UN/DOT 38.3 is a different job from an environmental sequence of temperature and humidity, salt spray, blowing sand and dust, solar radiation, altitude, IP rating, and shock and vibration. Samples for that bench work are sent or brought in to the lab. Equipment in limited quantities or of a specialized kind takes a different route: on-site field evaluations follow CSA SPE-1000, CSA SPE-3000 and CAN/CSA-B149.3 in Canada and NFPA 790 and 791 in the United States. Other listed categories include fuel burning appliances, energy efficiency, building materials, environmental testing and PPE.
Posted hours for the Delta head office are Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, closed Saturday and Sunday. The local line is 604-247-0444 and enquiries go to [email protected]. Offices and labs are also listed in Richmond BC, Oakville ON, Las Vegas NV and Garland TX. The company describes its reach as worldwide, with compliance work in Canada, the United States, Europe and the United Kingdom.
Based outside Pitt Meadows and serves it as part of a wider area, so this is a call-out service rather than somewhere to visit.
