Why is accredited testing important?
17 February, 2014 by Martin Garwood, Lab ManagerA number of Australian companies provide electrical product safety, environmental, EMC and calibration services. While most of these laboratories are accredited, some have no accreditations or expertise required. Some of these non-accredited testing facilities attempt to exploit buyers' lack of knowledge by providing non-accredited testing - often failing to disclose their reports lack the endorsement of NATA, A2LA, IANZ, CNAS or other accreditation bodies.
