Safety regulations in North America require approval of electrical and electronic products.
Certification is the most common form of approval. This can be achieved through a FIELD CERTIFICATION or FILED EVALUATION process , depending on the type of machinery or its destination: USA or Canada.
If you are a manufacturer of machinery for the North American market and want to certify only the panel you built, or both the panel and the machine, we can help.
We work with both American and Canadian companies that, after analyzing your electrical equipment, issue you with the certification label.
We can therefore offer you a “turnkey package,” in which we assist you throughout the engineering and construction phase of the switchboard, prepare the Technical File, contact the company that will perform the Field Evaluation or Field Certification, and accompany you through to the certification of your product.
Please note that both the Field Certification and the Field Evaluation primarily analyze the electrical components of the machinery and therefore, for example, do not address mechanical risks. The only inspection that analyzes these aspects (including functional safety) is the Pre-Start Health and Safety Review , which is mandatory only in Ontario.
In short, if you want your On-Board Machine Panel to be Certified as compliant with the UL 508A ; NFPA 79 ; or C22.2 N°14 (from 2022 it will be C22.2N° 286) regulations, you can contact us.
