Certification from Intertek
Intertek maintains vast experience performing testing, inspection and
certification for the sign industry, and our ETL Mark is the fastest growing
electrical safety mark in North America; accepted by Electrical Inspectors,
Code Officials, Health Inspectors, Fire Inspectors, Fire Marshals and key
industry associations across the country.
For decades, we’ve been building our reputation and our brand among key
AHJs, including those in Florida, New Jersey, Texas and Nevada, to ensure
our clients that their products will be accepted in the field.
We perform sign inspection for new installations, provide
baseline inspections for existing signs that have never been
inspected, and help create a schedule for re-inspection of
signs down the line.
Intertek is an OSHA-recognized NRTL and therefore entitled
by the Federal Government to test and certify products
within its scope of accreditation.
