Intertek’s field evaluation services get you back on track – quickly and affordably

Ensure code compliance for industrial equipment with on-site evaluations and labeling services for unlabeled or modified industrial equipment.

When industrial equipment lacks a required certification mark or has been modified in a way that voids its original certification, it can delay operation. Intertek's Industrial Field Labeling & Field Evaluation Services assists in keeping your projects moving forward by delivering fast, code-compliant solutions that satisfy the Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs).

Our team of qualified inspectors and engineers work directly with your on-site personnel to evaluate equipment for compliance with applicable product standards as well as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and NFPA 790/791, helping you meet inspection timelines without costly delays.

Common Situations Requiring Field Labeling or Evaluation:

  • Electrical equipment without a certification mark
  • Modified listed products that no longer meet their original listing
  • Imported machinery with unknown or non-U.S. certification status
  • Custom-built equipment installed in the field
  • Relocated equipment requiring AHJ re-approval

Our Evaluation & Labeling Process:

  1. Initial Assessment
    Our team reviews product documentation, installation details, and applicable standards.
  2. On-Site Evaluation
    A qualified Intertek engineer or inspector conducts a thorough field evaluation of your equipment at the installation site.
  3. Report & Labeling
    Upon successful completion, we issue a detailed evaluation report and apply the ETL Field Evaluated Label, demonstrating compliance.
  4. Ongoing Support
    We remain available to answer AHJ questions and assist with any follow-up compliance requirements.
