What is US NRTL and Canadian SCC Certification at Element?

Here at Element, we provide mandatory electrical safety testing and certification services recognized by OSHA and SCC for the US and Canadian markets. As an approved Nationally Recognized Test Laboratory (NRTL) and an SCC accredited Canadian Certification Body, we conduct all required testing, factory inspections, and documentation for NRTL and Canadian certification, ensuring your products meet necessary UL or CSA safety standards.
