"Field evaluation services are becoming quite common as companies are using more customised equipment", stated Dr Ulf Schmidt, Product Director at TUV America.
"We are pleased to offer our field evaluation services to the province of Ontario and we look forward to future expansion of these services".
Field evaluation services are most often required when an organisation has purchased used or custom-built equipment, reinstalls existing equipment or relocates it to a new city, town or jurisdiction.
TUV America will inspect such equipment, verify that it meets local electrical safety requirements and affix a field label to the equipment signifying that it has been approved for use by an accredited agency.
"The Ontario field evaluation accreditation allows TUV America to aggressively target the Canadian market with competitive, responsive and high-quality inspection services", stated Rafaat B Ludin, NAFTA Field Evaluation Manager at TUV America.
