Intertek Carnot Testing Laboratory

Engine durability, emission, certification, research, and development testing services.

Intertek Carnot Emission Services specializes in engine development, audit, and certification services, using over 20 test beds with engine capacity up to 500 HP.  Intertek Carnot works closely with the small off-road engine (SORE), large spark ignition (LSI), stationary, marine, nonroad CI, and on-highway heavy duty engine industries to meet federal and state emission regulations. 

Reductions of engine exhaust emissions require extensive engine research, development, testing, durability, and certification services to meet government and market needs.

Engine emission testing includes gasoline, liquified-petroleum gas (LPG), natural gas (NG) powered, two or four stroke, water or air-cooled, and vertical or horizontal shaft engines:

• Lawn and Garden Equipment
• Hedgers
• Vibratory Packers
• Lawn Mowers or Garden Tractors
• Snow Throwers
• Chainsaws
• Tillers or Weed Trimmers
• Pressure Washers
• Agricultural Tractors

Intertek tests the emissions for other equipment like synchronous speed engines in electrical generators. Intertek primarily conducts engine testing and emission certification on equipment having a rated power below 375 kW (500 hp); however higher engine power capabilities and other resources are available. Besides SORE equipment, Intertek CES is also capable of research and development testing on marine sterndrive and ski/inboard (SD/I), outboard, and personal watercraft, as well as forklifts, all-terrain vehicles, and other applications.
