Lamothe Pre-Compliance Evaluation

Have you ever sent your product to UL, only to find that it fails?  Ever had to do a costly redesign after CSA has rejected your design?  Wished you had known what the requirements were before paying an agency?  You are not alone. 

Over the years we have seen it all.  Products already over-budget failing in the eleventh hour. Missed ship deadlines because of product failures.  Redesigns are costly, especially when time is not on your side.  Lamothe Approvals can help avoid all these pitfalls with one simple idea: EVALUATE YOUR PRODUCT EARLY!

A Pre-Compliance Evaluation is a complete evaluation (top to bottom, inside and out) of your prototype, which includes ALL the tests that you need to pass.  Any problems found along the way are quickly dealt with, as our expert team is suggesting solutions or improvements along the way.  

The best part is that you can sleep at night knowing that there will not be any hurdles during certification! 

 

Here's a sampling of what's involved, and what we look for:

  • We run all the tests - make sure it passes!
  • Power supply and transformer selection - are these going to comply?
  • Earthing (grounding) and bonding methods - are they suitable?
  • Plastic enclosure - did you choose the right material?
  • Cords and wiring - can they be used where you want to ship?
  • Temperature ratings - does this really matter?
  • Component certification - will the agency accept these?

Running these tests and evaluating your product before agency submittal is insurance that your certification will go smoothly.
