Why Intertek?

Manufacturers spend a great deal of time and resources developing products that save lives. The products belong in the hands of the people who can use them, not on the bench of a testing laboratory. With more than 25 labs across North America, we enjoy shorter queue times and faster turnaround times than other labs, and can help you get your products to market faster.

Our expert Life Safety and Security engineers know the products they test and the requirements they must meet. Many sit on the boards and committees of organizations that write the standards.
