With the addition of the new ATEX accreditation for the European Union, LabTest is now able to provide a complete, in-house package solution to its clients who manufacture equipment for use in Explosive Atmospheres. This will allow us to provide faster results and improved service deliverable. With our IECEx, ATEX, and North American accreditations, we are now able to offer product approvals for most global economies. We are excited to be able to offer this additional service to our existing clients, who, over the years, have trusted LabTest as their partner for product approvals. But we are also looking forward to offering the new service to new customers seeking to place their products on the European market.”
