SGS expands scope of NRTL certification with 20 additional standards including two for electric vehicles.
- (1888PressRelease) September 11, 2020 - SGS, the worlds leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company, has gained approval from the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to test and certify against an expanded scope of electrical and electronic (EE) products destined for the US market including new standards for electric vehicles.

UL 2202 Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging System Equipment

John Ciliege, Global Head of NRTL, SGS said: As electric vehicles become more common, charging stations and charging equipment as part of our infrastructure become necessary. Redundant safety features to protect the user from potential electrical and fire hazards during connection, disconnection, and charging the vehicle are imperative. It is therefore important that manufacturers and brands understand the specific safety requirements of their products and can access professional testing and certification services through our global network of OSHA approved NRTLs.
