Exporting your machinery to America and Canada

If you manufacture one-of-a-kind equipment, relocating existing equipment to a new facility, have purchased used equipment or equipment without proper certification, you will need to comply with local electrical safety requirements.

Throughout the United States and Canada, many local jurisdictions will not allow unlisted / unlabeled equipment to be installed or used at manufacturing and commercial sites within their communities. In many cases, manufacturers utilizing equipment in conflict with local electrical laws may be fined and/or shut down by OSHA or may not be allowed to energise their equipment by the local electrical inspectors.

TÜV SÜD’s field labelling services help manufacturers gain the appropriate certification / listing requirements to allow their products to meet electrical safety requirements and be accepted by local Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
