The never-ending dilemma of safety testing

摘要

A few miles down the road from the Novi exhibition centre Intertek had an open house session at its Plymouth testing centre. Intertek offers every type of test imaginable, and if it has not previously been imagined, they can custom-build test apparatus. As a company it operates laboratories for the textile, footwear, toys, petroleum and chemicals industries at 500 locations worldwide. The site in Plymouth, Michigan, deals exclusively with commercial and electrical testing for electromechanical components, including cells and batteries with a capacity less than 6 kWh.
