Component and equipment listings are performed on equipment that can operate or function as a stand alone machine or system. The process for component listing is similar to that for Component Recognition projects.
Component witness testing is performed on components or products that are not approved by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) and are specialized components such that a Listing or Recognition is not cost effective. For witness testing projects NSS perform a preliminary design review and inspection of the device under test. Once the preliminary review and inspections are completed, and any non-conformances identified during these inspections are corrected, NSS performs testing of the component or device under test. This testing can be performed at the client’s manufacturing facility, or in our laboratory. If the component or system conforms to the applicable standards and passes all tests, you will receive a comprehensive conformity assessment evaluation report, a letter of compliance for the system, and if necessary a letter of compliance from an appropriate accredited laboratory.
Component recognitions are performed on components or products that are a sub-system of a machine or larger system.NSS can perform a preliminary assessment of the component and then perform the final product evaluation and testing. The testing can be performed at the client’s manufacturing facility or in some cases in our laboratory. If the component conforms to the applicable standards and passes all tests, the manufacturer can affix the component recognition label to the product.Follow up inspections are performed to ensure the product design and construction methods have not changed.
