Safety certification for
measurement systems
LASERLINC has announced that it
has earned full safety certification for
its laser and ultrasonic measurement
systems. The certification assures that
LaserLinc equipment has passed a
rigorous testing programme for electrical
safety, electromagnetic emissions
and immunity (EMC), laser safety and
other parameters. Certified LaserLinc
products will carry the ETL Listed mark
from certification agency Intertek as
proof of product compliance.
LaserLinc’s systems are now certified
to North American safety standards
including UL, ANSI, CSA, ASTM and
NFPA. Intertek tested LaserLinc equip-
ment using conformity assessment
standards for the CB Scheme, an inter-
national programme for the exchange
and acceptance of product safety test
results among participating laboratories
and certification organisations. The CB
Scheme was created by the International
Electrotechnical Commission for
Electrical Equipment (IECEE) and
provides entry into over 45 countries.
Intertek certifies that the manufacturer
that carries the ETL-EU mark has
“gone above-and-beyond CE marking
requirements for product safety. It has
been independently tested and certified
by Intertek to comply with the EU’s strict
safety standards.”
Intertek is a Nationally Recognized
Testing Laboratory (NRTL), and is an
independent laboratory recognised by
the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) to test products
to the specifications of applicable
product safety standards, such as those
from Underwriters Laboratories (UL)
and other standards-writing bodies.
Intertek maintains a directory of
certified products at .
com/directories. LaserLinc designs
and manufactures non-contact, laser
and ultrasonic measurement systems.
