The applicant also claims that it maintains effective procedures for producing creditable findings or reports that are objective and without bias, and for handling complaints and disputes under a fair and reasonable system. ETI states that it has the capability to perform field evaluations and code compliance inspections of unique and non-listed equipment or materials. It claims that it has a large inventory of portable test equipment that can support these activities at the customers' facilities. These services are supported by written procedures, quality control, and trained personnel. In summary, Electro-Test, Inc. claims that it maintains the experience, expertise, personnel, organization, equipment, and facilities suitable for accreditation as an OSHA Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory.
All laboratories are temperature controlled, and supplied with necessary utilities.
ETI has owned the facility since 1992. The Anaheim facility contains some 9,500 square feet of space. Most of the testing at Anaheim is performed at the site of the installation rather than at the ETI facility. ETI test engineers perform site testing. Following a review of the application file and the on-site survey reports of the ETI Pleasanton and Anaheim, California facilities, the NRTL Recognition Program staff concluded that the applicant appeared to have met the requirements for recognition as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory for the above noted facilities and, therefore, recommended to the Assistant Secretary that the application be preliminarily approved.
