Detailed Information:
What is MET Certification?
MET Laboratories, Inc., a prominent certification body in the United States, was established in Maryland in 1959. MET is highly regarded for its development of product testing technologies and certification standards. Over the decades, MET has specialized in certification and testing of high-tech products in the United States, establishing itself as a leading brand in high-tech product certification. Consumer appliances bearing the MET certification mark are widely accepted by major North American retailers, reflecting MET's reputation and rigorous standards.
Due to historical reasons, product certification in the United States had been monopolized by certain entities. In the 1970s and 1980s, MET led efforts to challenge this monopoly in product safety certification, taking legal action against government agencies overseeing the certification industry. After nearly a decade of persistent efforts, MET gained widespread industry support and government recognition, ultimately winning a marathon legal battle against monopolistic practices. Subsequently, the United States introduced a mandatory National Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) program, stipulating that certification bodies authorized by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as NRTLs enjoy the same legal status as previous monopolistic entities, such as UL. Thus, the MET certification mark holds equivalent certification authority as UL in the United States, marking a new era in American product certification history.
Scope of Certification:
Currently, MET offers services to a wide range of clients, including product safety certification, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing, reliability testing, and communication product testing across various industries such as automotive, cables, home appliances, fiber optic products, medical devices, communication equipment, wireless devices, NEBS, radio frequency identification (RFID), and military products.
MET is among the few organizations in the United States with comprehensive qualifications for testing and certification, including being the world's only RFID certification body. Under agreements of mutual recognition between the United States and Europe, MET also conducts testing for EU R&TTE, EMC, and LVD, issuing certificates as a European Cooperation Notified Body (NB). MET is a certification body (NCB) and testing laboratory (CBTL) in the CB Scheme, offering customers globally convenient and efficient one-stop professional services. MET's safety certification mark holds equivalent authority as the UL mark in the North American region. MET conducts testing and certification recognized by both the U.S. and Canadian governments for various electrical products such as electronics, household appliances, telecommunications equipment, medical devices, and power tools.
