Retlif Testing Laboratories is part of a partnership to evaluate and test technologies designed to treat ballast water on board ships against non-native aquatic species in American coastal waters, lakes and rivers. The U.S. Coast Guard developed regulations to limit the release of live organisms and to reduce the risks associated with the spread of aquatic invasive species. Ballast water management system manufacturers (BWMS) will apply to NSF International and the U.S. Coast Guard for testing, review and evaluations.

Walter A. The certification is awarded to those who demonstrate knowledge, proficiency, education and experience in Electromagnetic Compatibility and the employment of EMC/EMI principles in Electronics and Electrical Design. Poggi has long been a leading advocate of continuing electronics industry education with particular emphasis on EMC/EMI training. His accomplishments include authorship of EMC/EMI publications, production of DVD training vehicles including “EMI & The World Around Us,” as well as direction and hosting of electromagnetic interference-related training seminars.
