Intertek announced the launch of testing facility design services for manufacturers in the HVACR industry. The services aim to assist manufacturers in building or retrofitting rooms, chambers and fixtures to test products on-site for energy efficiency, conduct research and development, and verify safety and performance standards have been met. As the industry undergoes regulatory changes, many manufacturers are finding they require new or updated facilities to meet the evolving standards.

Intertek's services which include facility design development, data acquisition and correlation testing offer manufacturers a complete testing system, including follow up services and training, built around a company's specific needs. The new services also include access to the Intertek SATELLITE Data Acceptance Program, which allows participants to use test results from their own facilities to demonstrate compliance to North American safety standards, leading to ETL Mark certification [1] by Intertek. Other services include warranty, calibration and control services.
