Intertek Industrial ATIC Solutions

Industrial testing and certification refers to the process of evaluating, inspecting, and verifying industrial products, equipment, systems, and processes to ensure they meet safety, quality, performance, and regulatory standards. It is a critical part of the industrial industry because it helps companies demonstrate compliance, reduce risk, and maintain trust with customers and regulators. Industrial testing involves examining materials, components, and finished products under controlled conditions to measure attributes like durability, safety, performance, and reliability.

Why It Matters:

Ensures safety and reliability of industrial products and processes
Helps companies meet regulatory requirements and international standards
Reduces risk of product failure or liability
Builds market credibility and customer trust
Supports global trade and market access by demonstrating compliance with recognized standards

Intertek’s Industrial Testing and Certification Solutions

Our Heritage

Intertek’s industrial testing heritage spans more than 130 years. Our origins date back to Thomas Edison in the late 19th century, when pioneering independent testing organizations began providing inspection, laboratory analysis, and product safety verification services for global industries. Early milestones include the founding of marine cargo inspection services in 1885, the establishment of independent chemical laboratories in 1888, and the creation of Electrical Testing Laboratories (ETL) in 1896 to support electrical product safety. These foundational capabilities evolved into today’s Intertek, delivering trusted testing, inspection, certification, and assurance solutions that help industrial organizations improve quality, ensure safety, meet regulatory requirements, and bring products and infrastructure to market with confidence.
