Retlif Expands Into North Carolina

Independent compliance and testing organization Retlif Testing Laboratories announced it has expanded with a new location in Concord, North Carolina to answer a growing regional need for testing services.

 

The new laboratory, established after two years of searching for an ideal location, will initially offer pre-compliance evaluation Electromagnetic Interference/Electromagnetic Compatibility services, including EMI, EMC, Lightning testing and Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). The EMI test standard for the Department of Defense is MIL-STD-461, while the EMI test standard for the Commercial Aviation Industry is RTCA DO-160. Other available services include ESS regulatory consulting and documentation, as well as extensive engineering services.

 

“We’re certainly pleased to have a presence in the Tar Heel State,” said Retlif Executive Vice President Bill Hayes, “especially one that provides excellent access to aerospace, avionics, defense, maritime and consumer products manufacturers. From this centralized location we also expect to provide services to customers in South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee and Georgia. “

 

Retlif President Walter Poggi commented, “Our game plan is to expand our regional commitment by expanding our EMI services similar to those currently available in our fully equipped New Hampshire, New York, and Pennsylvania laboratories. And with teleconferencing, our Concord staff can fully manage each project even when formal testing is being performed at other Retlif locations.”
