MET Laboratories Collaborates with Center Testing International to Offer NEBS Pre-Testing in China

MET Laboratories (News - Alert), an internationally-recognized resource for regulatory certification of electrical products for the worldwide marketplace, has signed an agreement with Center Testing International to offer NEBS pre-testing in China.

Through this agreement, telecom manufacturers in China will be provided with a convenient resource that will allow them to perform local NEBS testing covering Telcordia (News - Alert) standards GR-63 and GR-1089.

Company officials said that with many telecom manufacturers setting up R&D and manufacturing facilities in China, this provides NEBS testing closer to these facilities.

In order to prepare the testing facilities and commence testing services by the end of the second quarter of 2011, both CTI and MET will work together closely in the upcoming weeks.

The scope of CTI's (News - Alert) electrical testing and certification services will be expanded by partnering with MET Laboratories, a major player in electrical product safety for over 50 years.

Major telecom and wireless infrastructure equipment manufacturers are the key industry sectors that will immensely benefit from this partnership.

The Chinese manufacturers will be provided with a cost- and time-effective way to access the North American telecom market.

Headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, MET provides testing services required for specific certifications needed to establish product safety, electromagnetic compatibility, environmental hardiness, telecom, metering, fiber optic, wireless and RFID compliance.

The company is also approved under the Verizon (News - Alert) ITL program for NEBS testing.

In related news, MET Laboratories has completed product safety testing and certification of SemaConnect's ChargePro 620, a Level II commercial electric vehicle charging station.
