Intertek expanded investments in new capabilities and capacity in North America to enhance its breadth of services in support of the refrigeration industry. With total investments of more than $20 million over the past 3 years, the company offers the broadest range of laboratory testing services, providing a single source for manufacturers bringing new products to market. The company understands that refrigeration products are facing a changing regulatory landscape with increased demands for energy efficiency, as well as efforts to transition to low global warming potential refrigerants to reduce negative environmental impact.

The expanded capabilities offer refrigeration manufacturers not only product safety, sanitation, and ETL certification, but also the CE Mark or equivalent marks for global markets and the broadest range of performance testing capabilities. Intertek's range of services allows manufacturers to conduct testing for various applications and global markets concurrently with a single compliance expert in safety and certification, performance, and energy efficiency standards.
