Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Testing

Intertek provides Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) testing and certification of products, such as firefighting apparel, respiratory apparatus, and helmets. Intertek is the lab of choice for third party certifications through The Safety Equipment Institute (SEI).

Intertek is accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), and is recognized by OSHA. We have performed evaluations in accordance with such standards as ANSI, ASTM, NFPA, CPSC, EN, CSA, SAE, AS and ISO.
