The laboratories of Intertek Testing Services (ITS) have decades of experience in testing commercial food service equipment for

* product safety (gas and electric),

* energy consumption and efficiency

* cooking throughput and efficiency,

* EMI/C, and

* sanitation.

Through a unique cooperative agreement with NSF International, ITS laboratories offer two well-known certification marks--the ETL Listed Mark for Product Safety and the NSF Certification Mark for Sanitation. In addition, ITS can test compliance of equipment with the following standards: ASTM, ANSI (American National Standards Institute, New York, www.ansi.org) A membership organization founded in 1918 that coordinates the development of U.S. voluntary national standards in both the private and public sectors.
