Safety Approvals
Complete safety service. To improve free
trade in international markets, product safety requirements have been
harmonized. Products that comply with these standards and directives will be
able to take full advantage of this harmonization, thus securing their place in
the world marketplace.
U.S., Canadian, European and international
product safety approvals can be secured with one stop at Washington Labs.
With
the advantage of being a TUV Rheinland Partner Test lab, WLL can perform in
house product safety testing to obtain US, Canadian, and European approvals all
at one location.WLL also offers UL
approvals via the witness test program and performs completion evaluations for
CE Marking requirements.The bottom
line is that WLL streamlines the safety approval process, reduces testing costs
and cuts your precious time-to-market.
Restriction of Hazardous
Substances and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment RoHS/WEEE
In
response to imminent regulations for electronics manufacturers, we have
developed the RoHS\WEEE Compliance Assessment Program (R\W-CAP). This program,
provided at your facility, includes orientation training on the Directives,
defining the applicability of the Directives to your particular industry/product
offerings and the R\W-CAP guide gap review for current and ongoing compliance
management.
The Standards Services Division at the National Institute of Standards and Technology were welcomed by Mike Violette and Steve Ferguson of Washington Labs. The group, led by Gordon Gillerman, were provided an overview of laboratory operations and the use of standards in everyday testing.

The Standards Services Division conducts standards-related programs and provides knowledge and services that will strengthen the U.S. economy, to ensure recognition and use of U.S. standards domestically and in the global marketplace; promote worldwide acceptance of U.S. test and calibration data to facilitate the marketing of U.S. products; and provide assistance to industry, trade associations, and exporters through its operations, training and information programs.
There are many dynamic areas of standards-setting in the area of technology products, software, homeland security and related disciplines in modern American life. Mike Violette provided a little "look under the hood" at some of the domestic and international activities.
