Hi Folks,

Does anyone know a good and honest test lab in Texas? We need to do
baseline tests and then full cert tests on an agricultural type system
with electronics, pumps, hoses and stuff. Safety and EMC, for overseas
countries such as Australia.

Houston would be nice. Looks like most of them are near Austin which
would also be ok for driving distance. I know a lot of labs, just not in
that area.

I was quite happy with Intertek. I think they have an EMC test lab in Texas,
too.

2nd the Intertek.
Also SGS, but I can't quickly determine if there is an emc lab in Texas.

Cheers
 
Thanks, Keith. They have labs in Plano and Elmendorf so I forwarded it
to my client.

Actually, the tech we used in Atlanta moved to Plano, IIRC. He was a wild man
but knew his stuff. Intertek could be counted on for consistency. The
company we used before that (also in Atlanta but I can't remember their name)
couldn't give the same result two out of ten times. We spent a week chasing a
phantom.

Thanks, Martin, I have let my client know about this as well. SGS' web
site is a mess but they can just call the Baytown, TX office and
inquire. In case someone else is looking for their contact info in the
various states:
